Friendships are the purer and the more ardent, the nearer they come to the presence of God, the Sun not only of righteousness but of love.
Walter Savage LandorMusic is God's gift to man, the only art of Heaven given to earth, the only art of earth we take to Heaven.
Walter Savage LandorIt has been my fortune to love in general those men most who have thought most differently from me, on subjects wherein others pardon no discordance. I think I have no more right to be angry with a man, whose reason has followed up a process different from what mine has, and is satisfied with the result, than with one who has gone to Venice while I am at Siena, and who writes to me that he likes the place.
