About this Quote

This quote by Charles Munch speaks with the power of music to express feelings and ideas that can not be taken into words. Music has the ability to reach beyond the boundaries of language and logic, and to touch something deeper within us. It can evoke feelings and memories that are difficult to articulate, and can bring us to a location of understanding that is beyond the world of the conscious mind. Music can be a powerful tool for self-expression, and can assist us to get in touch with our innermost selves. It can be a source of convenience and solace, and can assist us to understand the world around us. Music is an art form that transcends the boundaries of language and logic, and can help us to access the depths of our own being.
