About This Quote

Miss Woolf's statement, "It's funny, isn't it, how much German music we listen to. Great beauty transcends all. Perhaps after the war it will heal all too," hints at her deep affection for Germany and also her understanding of the spiritual power of great works of art. "Great beauty transcends all." Miss Woolf understood that music can be a unifying force in times of peace or war. Music can inspire people to take action in the face of oppression, or restore faith when faith is lost.
