“Whenever I listen to a children's orchestra, I learn. They feel everything, they enjoy everything, they have amazing energy.”
“There have been times when only a hair's-breadth has intervened betwixt myself and the seething devil-ridden world of madness; for the hideous knowledge, the horror- blackened memories which I have carried so long, were never meant to be borne by the human intellect.”

This family habit is by far the better, it strengthens the tie between the members, and makes the home one home.”
