Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky
"Music is not illusion, but revelation.
  " — Peter Ilyicb Tchaikovsky
One does not have to be a musician of the highest order in order to see eye-to-eye with you. Any man, as long as he is a music-lover, knows and feels that the supreme utterance by the supreme musician in you is absolutely true.
  " — Peter Ilyicb Tchaikovsky
