Quote by Oliver Sacks

“Music can move us to the heights or depths of emotion. It can persuade us to buy something, or remind us of our first date. It can lift us out of depression when nothing else can.

Worship is an act that develops feelings for God, not a feeling for God that is expressed in an act of worship.”
