Music will calm you, soothe your nerves, tell you of otherworldiness. Even in the midst of great turmoil, music can bring peace to your heart.

-- Deng Ming-Dao

Music is the direct link between the soul and the divine.  The body is like a hollow reed, and music fills it with the song of the gods.

-- Deng Ming-Dao

Music describes the contours of an inward landscape that is accessible and enriching for work in the world.

-- Elaine Brown

The exciting part about being a musician is that we are artists of all of life.  Music can be a force, not a specialty.  The world has now become too dangerous for anything but the truth -- too small for anything but love.

-- Elaine Brown
