“When you sing with a group of people, you learn how to subsume yourself into a group consciousness because a capella singing is all about the immersion of the self into the community. That’s one of the great feelings – to stop being me for a little while and to become us. That way lies empathy, the great social virtue.”

Brian Eno

“The one desire which grows more and more is to give…giving and receiving are at bottom one thing, dependent upon whether one lives open or closed. Living openly one becomes a medium, a transmitter; living thus, as a river, one experiences life to the full, flows along with the current of life, and dies in order to live again as an ocean.”

Henry Miller

“You are the architect of your own fate. You are the master of your own destiny. You can do and undo things. You can break old habits through the power of your will. You can destroy wrong mental impressions and unholy desires and develop new habits. You can change your nature and develop a pure character.”

Swami Sivananda
