Music has the power to change lives and testify of truths. - Lori Landin

There are two things that draw a man's soul closer to God. One is Prayer and the other is Music. - Lori Landin

Music is one of the most forceful instruments for governing the mind and spirit of man.

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.

Music is life itself.

Sometimes... we get nearer to the Lord through music than perhaps through any other thing except prayer.

Where words fail, music speaks.

There is something in the spirit of song... an influence... and inspirational power... that fires the soul in a way that it can't otherwise be touched or fired.

Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife.

Where words leave off, Music begins.

Through music, man's ability to express himself extends beyond the limits of the spoken language in both subtlety and power.

Music is the universal language of mankind.

Music can change the world.

The true beauty of music is that it connects people. It carries a message, and we, the musicians, are the messengers.

Music is the great universe. An incredible force. Something that people who differ on everything and anything else can have in common.

Music acts like the magic key to which the most tightly closed heart opens.

Love is friendship set to music.

Music is an outburst of the soul.

Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart.

Music can heal the wounds which medicine cannot touch.

Music is the literature of the heart: it commences where speech ends.

Music expresses feeling and thought, without language: it was below and before speech, and it is above and beyond all words.

Music is love in search of a word.

Music cleanses the understanding: inspires it, and lifts it into a realm which it would not reach if it were left to itself.

Music... can name the unnamable and communicate the unknowable.

The only truth is music.

Music is the shorthand of emotion.

Music gives color to the air of the moment.

A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence.

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

When we listen to music we are not listening to the past, we are not listening to the future, we are listening to an expanded present.

Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.

Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.

Music is a Universal Language that crosses all borders. It comes directly from the heart.-Lori Landin

****************************************************************************

Playing (or performing) music is a very high calling: It is a responsibility, and a sacred trust.

Music is the voice of our humanity, the voice of truth and beauty, the inner voice of the soul. The mastery of music comes from within the human spirit --this is the pathway of a true artist.

One of life's joys is to fully experience our connection to this inner voice that inspires us to continue to grow and learn as human beings. It is a rushing crystalline current that is available to anyone who chooses to acknowledge its existence. The song that Mozart captured without having to change a note, the song that Beethoven heard with a relentless desire to clarify and perfect, the song that we glimpse and keep returning for more---this song is alive in us, this voice will never stop singing. These are the Masters. This was their path. It's a journey we can all travel. It is our privilege to be inspired by it, in our silences, in our music making, and in our life on earth.
