Music has a power of forming the character, and should therefore be introduced into the education of the young.

Aristotle

Music has the power of producing a certain effect on the moral character of the soul, and if it has the power to do this, it is clear that the young must be directed to music and must be educated in it.

Aristotle

Aristotle

No excellent soul is exempt from a mixture of madness.

Aristotle

No one loves the man whom he fears.
