- "It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony."― Benjamin Britten
- "The key to education is the experience of beauty."― Friedrich Schiller
