Most
of what we take as being important is not material,
whether it's music or feelings or love. They're
things we can't really see or touch. They're not
material, but they're vitally important to us.

sadness is to share it with someone else.

"The
beautiful in life...
Some talk of it in poetry,
Some grow it from the soil,
Some build it in a steeple,
Some show it through their toil.
Some breathe it into music,
Some mold it into art,
Some shape it into bread loaves...
Some hold it in their hearts."
-- Bernard Meltzer

"I've
always felt that music finds its natural place within
people and should not be restricted to a specific

arts."

“Kids don’t have a little brother working in the
coal mine, they don’t have a little sister coughing
her lungs out in the looms of the big mill towns
of the Northeast. Why? Because we organized; we
broke the back of the sweatshops in this country;
we have child labor laws. Those were not benevolent
gifts from enlightened management. They were fought
for, they were bled for, they were died for by
working people, by people like us. Kids ought
to know that. That’s why I sing these songs. That’s
why I tell these stories, dammit. No root, no
fruit!”
-- Utah
Phillips

If
only we could have a wealth of literature and
music and art that would inspire and encourage
us and show us how wonderful peace on earth could
be, perhaps we would be more excited about working
together to create a better world. If you are
a writer, artist, musician or filmmaker, and you
dream of peace on earth, please use your creativity
to help create a better world.
-- Robert Alan Silverstein

"I
have left almost to the last the magic of water, an
element which owing to its changefulness of form and
mood and colour and to the vast range of its effects
is ever the principal source of landscape beauty, and
has like music a mysterious influence over the mind."
-- Sir George Sitwell

If a man does not keep pace with his companions,

Let him step to the music which he hears, however
measured or far away. -- Henry
David Thoreau
"Most
men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to
the grave with the song still in them." -- Henry
David Thoreau
When
I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable.
I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times,
and to the latest. -- Henry
David Thoreau
