"A piece of music should be like a dear friend who can offer solace in times of sorrow or joy in times of celebration, who can provoke us into looking at things in a new way or sometimes just be good company. But at the most profound level, it can be a pathway, a means of self-attunement to the divine Intelligence that is the ultimate source and essence of all Life."
