"Music is the highest of fine arts, because it helps to develop the language of the emotions and thus to induce sympathy between human beings." Herbert Spencer (not necessarily his exact words.)

"To listen to music is good, to make music yourself is better - but to make music with your friends is best of all, because the greatest sum of benefits inherent in the nature of the art is thus attainable." Francis Toye.
