It is a feeble view of art that isolates it as a sphere of its own for those who
find it amusing. The word and command of God demand art, since it is art that sets us under the word of the new
heaven and the new earth. Those who, in principle or out of indolence, want to evade the anticipatory creativity of
aesthetics are certainly not good. Finally, in the proper sense, to be unaesthetic is to be immoral and disobedient.
Karl Barth
Is the Trinity a metaphor for Plato's Forms of the unity of Truth, Goodness and Beauty, the
integration and interdependence of the natural and supernatural.
S E Gray
Music in the soul can be heard by the universe
Lao Tzu
Skill without imagination is craftsmanship and gives us many useful objects such as wickerwork
picnic baskets. Imagination without skill gives us modern art.
Tom Stoppard
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, or of him who is ill-educated ungraceful
Socrates
