My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.
- Martin Luther

 

Martin Luther was a German monk, priest, professor of theology and seminal figure of the Protestant Reformation. He strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God's punishment for sin could be purchased with money.
