“There’s a very basic human, non-verbal aspect to our need to make music and use it as part of our human expression. It doesn’t have to do with body movements, it doesn't have to do with articulation of a language, but with something spiritual.”
John Williams, quoted from the E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial CD liner notes

Jean Sibelius
(1865–1957) Finnish composer of the late Romantic period

“The need to make music, and to listen to it, is universally expressed by human beings.”
"The Music of This Sphere"
The Lives of a Cell: Notes of a Biology Watcher (1974)
Context: The need to make music, and to listen to it, is universally expressed by human beings. I cannot imagine, even in our most primitive times, the emergence of talented painters to make cave paintings without there having been, near at hand, equally creative people making song. It is, like speech, a dominant aspect of human biology.
“Our life energies are the most basic and the most powerful aspect of human beings.”
Sadhguru
(1957) Yogi, mystic, visionary and humanitarian
Though most people are unaware of it, whichever way our energies play, that’s the way our bodies and our minds and our emotions play. So, once we get the energies—the fundamentals—moving in one direction, we can make sure that our bodies, emotions, and minds are also moving in that direction. -Sadhguru

Robert Fulghum
(1937) American writer
Introduction to the Art gallery at his website (2006) http://robertfulghum.com/index.php/fulghumweb/artshowentry/introduction2/
Context: I don't do art to address other people but to address myself. I've never done art with a thought of being a professional artist who makes a living by selling his art. I've never had a commercial show in a gallery. I suppose I'm like those who write poetry or songs without seeking publication. I make art in and for the experience itself — to satisfy a need to express myself in a creative, colorful, non-verbal way.
