"Although human gifts are as nothing, with the nothingness of eternity, I feel a strange emotion when speaking on my singing records of many years ago... but the gift of song is like a soul entering a living spirit, and nothing has so well conveyed the bliss of joy."
― Zelie De Lussan (London 1946)
