Dr. Adam Knieste’s Surprising Truth About the Power of Music
“Music is a two-edged sword. It’s really a powerful drug. Music can poison you, lift your spirits or make you sick without knowing why. Whereas mellow tones can relax you, in contrast, loud, grinding music can cause blood pressure to rise, leading to headaches and an anxious feeling.”
Dr. Adam Knieste
Donald Jay Grout Quote: How Music Shapes Our Soul and Character
“Music directly affects the passions or states of the soul—gentleness, anger, courage, temperance, and their opposites … When one listens to music that imitates a certain passion, he becomes imbued with the same passion. If over a long time he habitually listens to the kind of music that arouses ignoble passions, his whole character will be shaped to that ignoble form. In short, if one listens to the wrong kind of music—he will become the wrong kind of person.”

Josef Stalin Quote on Power: Who Counts the Votes Decides Everything
“I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how.”

Hermann Julius Oberth Quote: Why Scoundrels Often Have Better Chances in Life
“In life, a decent person has so many ways to get ahead. A bad guy with the same smarts and drive has all those same ways open to them, but also some others that a decent person wouldn’t go down. So, they have more chances to get ahead. As a result of this negative selection of character, the higher social classes become enriched with scoundrels. The better and more influential a social class is, the worse its average ethical level becomes. Only this circumstance can explain why the world has not been a paradise for at least five thousand years. One must know this if one wants to understand world history.”
Hermann Julius Oberth
