The little things, I can obey. But the big things --- how we think, what we value --- those you must choose yourself. You can't let anyone --- or any society --- determine those for you.

About the Book
Born in a belfry high in the Swiss Alps, Moses Froben and his deaf and mute mother ring the beautiful church bells each day. The townspeople assume Moses is also deaf, but shaped by the glorious music of the bells, he actually possesses a singular sense of hearing that makes him privy to any number of sins --- and puts him in grave danger. Moses finds refuge in a monastery's choir and becomes its star singer, but he falls under the power of a man who will do anything to preserve Moses' angelic voice forever.
In this letter to his son, Moses recounts his life as a novice monk, the power and beauty of the music he loves, and a story of forbidden love.

Regard your good name as the richest jewel you can possibly be possessed of --- for credit is like fire; when once you have kindled it you may easily preserve it, but if you once extinguish it, you will find it an arduous task to rekindle it again. The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.
