"Music is God’s gift to man, the only art of Heaven given to earth, the only art of earth we take to Heaven." "Prose on certain occasions can bear a great deal of poetry; on the other hand, poetry sinks and swoons under a moderate weight of prose." More In Men "Men talk of killing time, while time quietly kills them."― Dion Boucicault "Men who are unhappy, like men who sleep badly, are always proud of the fact."― Bertrand Russell "Our duty, as men and women, is to proceed as if limits to our ability did not exist. We are collaborators in creation."― Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
