Individuel Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.
~ Winston Churchill

It is part of our lives, in a way, that we cannot wake up in the morning and go through life without music and without having this essential aspect of it, that music means just as much as eating and drinking or living.
~ Janos Starker, cellist.
