“Music makes me forget myself, my true condition, it carries me off into another state of being, one that isn't my own: under the influence of music I have the illusion of feeling things I don't really feel, of understanding things I don't understand, being able to do things I'm not able to do (...)

Leo Tolstoy

“Everything I know, I know because I love.”

Leo Tolstoy
