I had a vision with which I might have saved my people, but I had not the strength to do it.
Black Elk

Music makes us want to live. You don't know how many times people have told me that they'd been down and depressed and just wanted to die. But then a special song caught their ear and that helped give them renewed strength. That's the power music has.

Georges Duhamel

Strength and wisdom are not opposing values.
William J. Clinton

The breaking wave and the muscle as it contracts obey the same law. Delicate line gathers the body's total strength in a bold balance. Shall my soul meet so severe a curve, journeying on its way to form?
