~ Reverend Oliver G. Wilson

No One Imagines That A Symphony Is Supposed To Improve In Quality As It Goes Along, Or That The Whole Object Of Playing It Is To Reach The Finale. The Point Of Music Is Discovered In Every Moment Of Playing And Listening To It. It Is The Same, I Feel, With The Greater Part Of Our Lives, And If We Are Unduly Absorbed In Improving Them We May Forget Altogether To Live Them.
~ Alan B. Watts

I See Music As The Augmentation Of A Split Second Of Time.
~ Erin Cleary

Too Many Pieces Of Music Finish Too Long After The End.

It Is In Learning Music That Many Youthful Hearts Learn To Love.

The Man That Hath No Music In Himself, Nor Is Not Moved With Concord Of Sweet Sounds, Is Fit For Treasons, Stratagems, And Spoils; The Motions Of His Spirit Are Dull As Night, And His Affections Dark As Erebus. Let No Such Man Be Trusted.

No Voice; But Oh! The Silence Sank Like Music On My Heart.
~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge
