I was irrevocably betrothed to laughter, the sound of which has always seemed to me to be the most civilised music in the world.
~ Peter Ustinov It requires wisdom to understand wisdom the music is nothing if the audience is deaf.
~ Walter Lippmann He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.
~ Albert Einstein If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, how ever measured or far away.
~ Henry David Thoreau The music business was not safe, but it was FUN. It was like falling in love with a woman you know is bad for you, but you love every minute with her, anyway.
~ Lionel Richie The way to write American music is simple. All you have to do is be an American and then write any kind of music you wish.
~ Virgil Thompson
Without music life would be a mistake.
~ Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche From the persistence of noise comes the insistence of rage. From the emergence of tone comes the divergence of thought. From the enlightenment of music comes the wisdom of... silence.
~ Visions of Gregorian Chants
Leaders must encourage their organizations to dance to forms of music yet to be heard.
~ Warren Bennis When words fail, music speaks.
~ Hans Christian Anderson When words leave off, music begins.
~ Thomas Carlyle A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A DOE Unbearably lovely music is heard as the curtain rises, and we see the woods on a summer afternoon. A fawn dances on and nibbles slowly at some leaves. He drifts lazily through the soft foliage. Soon he starts coughing and drops dead.
~ Woody Allen, Without Feathers
