  • To sing means to sense and to affirm that the spirit is real and that its glory is present.

  • The way to recover the meaning of life and the worthwhileness of life is to recover the power of experience, to have impulse voices from within, and to be able to hear these impulse voices from within — and make the point: This can be done.
