“It isn't the Universe that's following our logic, it's we that are constructed in accordance with the logic of the Universe. And that gives what I might call a definition of intelligent life: something that reflects the basic structure of the Universe.”
― Fred Hoyle, The Black Cloud

“But the worse I am, the more I need God. I can't shut myself from His mercy. That is what it would mean; starting a life with you, without Him. One can only hope to see one step ahead. But I saw today there was one thing unforgivable — like things in the schoolroom, so bad they are unpunishable, that only Mummy could deal with — the bad thing I was on the point of doing, that I'm not quite bad enough to do; to set up a rival good to God's.”
― Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited

“„What are words but praises of echo!
But music is the gift of the Beneficent;
From Him it came and to Him it shall return.
Therefore song is my prayer and prayer is my song

[…]

O loved ones of God, cease to teach and learn to sing

[…]

What is Sufism but the promise of a song,
That the song be sung on earth as it is in Heaven,
And that man who is greater than the angels
Prove his greatness by his better deeds.

[…]

Tell them the end of music is the end of the world,
And the cessation from glorification is the victory of night;
So long as is music is the world,
So long as is glorification is existence.

[…]

With a song came the World and by music is it sustained,
And the soul of man is a note of revelation.“
