Music
Music's power is beyond any definition with words.
Education possesses similar enigmatic qualities.
Below are some thoughtful attempts at defining music's mysterious nature.
"Music is the shorthand of emotion." Leo Tolstoy
"Music is Moral Law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything." Plato
"See deep enough, and you see musically the heart of nature being everywhere in music." Thomas Carlyle
"Music can name the un-nameable and communicate the unknowable." Leonard Bernstein
"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
