“Music takes us out of the actual and whispers to us dim secrets that startles out wonder as to who we are, and for what, whence, and whereto.”
“Round the World! There is much in that sound to inspire proud feelings; but whereto does all that circumnavigation conduct? Only through numberless perils to the very point whence we started, where those that we left behind secure, were all the time before us.”
“Who can say when or how it will be that something easters up out of the dimness to remind us of a time before we were born and after we will die?”
“Sometimes when we think we are keeping a secret, the secret is actually keeping us.”
“The people who lead us are of us. We put them in office and we can take them out. America proves that the people can govern themselves.”
“Too many people out there tell us what we can and cannot do but…they don’t know who we are, what’s put in us.”
