Music is well said to be the speech of angels, in fact, nothing among the utterances allowed to man is felt to be so divine.  It brings us near to the infinite.

-- Thomas Carlyle

 

Music is a kind of inarticulate, unfathomable speech, which leads us to the edge of the infinite, and impels us for a moment to gaze into that.

-- Thomas Carlyle

 

See deep enough and you see musically.

-- Thomas Carlyle

 

Nobody dreams of music in hell, and nobody conceives of heaven without it.

-- S. Parkes Cadman

 

Music, once admitted to the soul, becomes a sort of spirit, and never dies.

-- Edward George Bulwer-Lytton
