I have no use for cranks who despise music, because it is a gift of God. Music drives away the Devil and makes people joyful they forget thereby all wrath, unchastity, arrogance, and the like. Next after theology, I give to music the highest place and the greatest honor.

The whole Turkish empire is nothing else but a crust cast by Heaven's great Housekeeper to His dogs.
