Quotes by Johannes Kepler

We shall probably never attain the power of measuring the velocity of nervous action; for we have not the opportunity of comparing its propagation through immense space, as we have in the case of light.

Quotes by Johann Johannsson

Silence can be very effective, and it gives the music space to breathe.

Quotes by Johann Johannsson

Quotes by Johann Johannsson
