• To write, I must prepare myself for a long time. Sometimes it takes five years. [...] In my life, my music, my work, in my dark hours, I have the certain feeling that everything outside this one thing has no meaning. The complex and many-faceted only confuses me, and I must search for unity. What is it, this one thing, and how do I find my way to it? Traces of this thing appear in many guises and everything that is unimportant falls away. [...] Here I am alone with silence. I have discovered that it is enough when a single note is played. [...] That is my goal. Time and timelessness are connected. This instant and eternity are struggling within us. Arvo Pärt (*1935) prominent Estonian classical composer of sacred music, cited in: D. Hawkins, Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, S. pp. 191-192, Hay House edition, February 2002

• Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul, on which they mightily fasten, imparting grace, and making the soul of him who is rightly educated graceful. Socrates [LoC 540] (469-399 BC) Ancient Greek pre-Christian philosopher

• Emotions of any kind are produced by melody and rhythm; therefore by music a man becomes accustomed to feeling the right emotions; music has thus the power to form character, and the various kinds of music based on the various modes, may be distinguished by their effects on character – one, for example, working in the direction of melancholy, another of effeminacy; one encouraging abandonment, another self-control, another enthusiasm, and so on through the series. Aristotle [LoC 498] (384-322 BC) classical Greek pre-Christian philosopher, physician, scientist

• Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul, on which they mightily fasten, imparting grace, and making the soul of him who is rightly educated, graceful. Plato [LoC 485] (427-347 BC) classical Ancient Greek pre-Christian philosopher, The Republic, 360 BC

• The introduction of a new kind of music must be shunned as imperilling the whole State: since styles of music are never disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions. Plato [LoC 485] (427-347 BC) classical Ancient Greek pre-Christian philosopher, The Republic, 360 BC

• Through foolishness they deceived themselves into thinking that there was no right or wrong in music -- that it was to be judged good or bad by the pleasure it gave. By their work and their theories they infected the masses with the presumption to think themselves adequate judges ... As it was, the criterion was not music, but a reputation for promiscuous cleverness and a spirit of law-breaking. Plato [LoC 485] (427-347 BC) classical Ancient Greek pre-Christian philosopher, Laws dialogue, 380 BC

• A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. Abraham Maslow [LoC 475] (1908-1970) US American transpersonal psychologist, happiness researcher

• Psychiatrist Dr. John Diamond further expanded Dr. Goodheart's work by discovering that different images, paintings, music, games and material affect the body. For example, he found that classical music makes people go strong, while rap music makes everyone go weak. Similarly, synthetic clothing makes you weak and natural fibers make you strong.
