“Studying music encourages self-discipline and diligence, traits that carry over into intellectual pursuits and that lead to effective study and work habits. An association of music and math has, in fact, long been noted. Creating and performing music promotes self-expression and provides self-gratification while giving pleasure to others. In medicine, increasing published reports demonstrate that music has a healing effect on patients. For all these reasons, it deserves strong support in our educational system, along with the other arts, the sciences, and athletics.” GivingLongArtSelfReasonFactsStrongPleasureHealingSupportStudyEffectsExpressionHabitDisciplineCreatingIntellectualDeserveMedicinePatientEducationalMathPursuitPerformingReportsAssociationTraitsSelf DisciplineGratificationDiligenceAthleticsSelf ExpressionEducational SystemWork HabitsSelf GratificationMath And MusicPerforming MusicStudy And WorkStudying Music Author:Michael E.

“It's a creative enterprise, just like art, just like painting, music. Creating something can be done in different categories, so to do it in film is just another expression, which is great.

“When we form heart-centered beliefs within our bodies, in the language of physics we're creating the electrical and magnetic expression of them as waves of energy, which aren't confined to our hearts or limited by the physical barrier of our skin and bones. So clearly we're speaking to the world around us in each moment of every day through a language that has no words: the belief-waves of our hearts.” WorldHeartMomentsBodyFormBeliefEnergyLanguageExpressionCreatingSkinsWaveBonesPhysicsBarriersConfinedElectricalMagneticSkin And Bones Author:Gregg Braden

“I guess part of my ambivalence about pursuing music as well as acting is that acting is already one of the most difficult careers to create for yourself, I must be insane to embark on creating two careers in two of the most difficult fields. But I have really different ambitions with music; I just want to stay in love with music. I want it to continue to be a means of expression for me that feels like it's mine, and something that feels community-based.” WantFeelsWellsMeanTwoDifferentDifficultCommunityActingCareersFieldsMinesExpressionAmbitionCreatingInsaneAmbivalence Author:Lola Kirke

“A gesture cannot be regarded as the expression of an individual, as his creation (because no individual is capable of creating a fully original gesture, belonging to nobody else), nor can it even be regarded as that person's instrument; on the contrary, it is gestures that use us as their instruments, as their bearers and incarnations” PersonsUseIndividualCreationExpressionCreatingCapableOriginalsInstrumentsIndividualityContraryBelongingGesturesIncarnation Author:Milan Kundera
“When we consider that each of us has only one life to live, isn’t it rather tragic to find men and women, with brains capable of comprehending the stars and the planets, talking about the weather; men and women, with hands capable of creating works of art, using those hands only for routine tasks; men and women, capable of independent thought, using their minds as a bowling-alley for popular ideas; men and women, capable of greatness, wallowing in mediocrity; men and women, capable of self-expression, slowly dying a mental death while they babble the confused monotone of the mob?” MenMindArtIdeasSelfHandsStarsBrainTalkingDyingGreatnessPlanetsExpressionCreatingCapableMen And WomenTasksIndependentWeatherConfusedTragicWorks Of ArtRoutineMediocritySelf ExpressionAlleysBowlingIndependent ThoughtComprehendingWallowingOne Life To LiveBowling Alleys Author:Neil Gaiman
