Music is moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness and a gaiety and life to everything. It is the essence of order and leads to all that is good, true and beautiful.
Plato 427-347 B.C

"For a few moments music makes us larger than we really are, and the world more orderly than it really is....As our brains are thrown into overdrive, we feel our very existence expand and realize that we can be more than we normally are, and that the world is more than it seems. That is cause enough for ecstasy"
from Music, the Brain, and Ecstasy
by Robert Jourdain
