“Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the Universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything. It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is good and just and beautiful.” - Plato
"Actors are agents of change. A film, a piece of theater, a piece of music, or a book, can make a difference. It can change the world." - Alan Rickman
