"Bruckner's compositions are a mystery as the whole person is a mystery. How someone who comes from such a narrow background, from rural circumstances, can write such a work with such incredible foresight and aura … When I look at the score as an expert, as a professional, I see this unbelievable mastery that is technically embedded in there. But none of that plays a role in listening. I don’t have to know anything about Bruckner, I don’t have to be able to read notes and still I can be touched."  -- Markus Poschner

"In her now-famous TED Talk, “The Power of Vulnerability,” professor and author BrenĂ© Brown posits that the only way to make true connections is to let our full selves be seen by others. Often, the things we hold back or feel shame around, Brown explains, are the ones that make us human. Brown reassures us that vulnerability is a strength rather than a weakness: In acknowledging every part of who we are, even the difficult ones, we can fortify our relationship with both ourselves and others."  --inspiringquotes.com
