»Music is the sound of the universal laws promulgated. It is the only assured tone. There are in it such strains as far surpass any man’s faith in the loftiness of his destiny. Things are to be learned which it will be worth the while to learn.«


»The pleasure we feel in music springs from the obedience which is in it.«


»Der Alltagsmensch hört nie Musik; die Heiligen hören sie immer. Sie ist Gottes Stimme, der hörbar gewordene göttliche Atem.«
