&quot;Music is no illusion, but rather a revelation. Its triumphant power lies in the fact that it reveals to us beauties we find in no other sphere; and the apprehension of them is not transitory, but a perpetual reconcilement to life.&quot; -Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky<br /> <br /> &quot;Imagination is more important than knowledge. For while knowledge defines all we know and understand, imagination points us to all we might yet discover and create.&quot; -Albert Einstein
