- Music rises from the human heart. When the emotions are
touched, they are expressed in sounds, and when the sounds take definite
forms, we have music. Therefore the music of a peaceful and prosperous
country is quiet and joyous, and the government is orderly; the music
of a country in turmoil shows dissatisfaction and anger, and the government
is chaotic; and the music of a destroyed country shows sorrow and remembrance
of the past and the people are distressed. Thus we see music and government
are directly connected with one another. Confucius
- After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing
the inexpressible is music. Aldous Huxley
- A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint
their pictures on silence. Stokowski
- A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry,
and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly
cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted
in the human soul. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
- I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote
some blues. Duke Ellington
- Music is the only language in which you cannot say a
mean or sarcastic thing. John Erskine
- Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday
life. Red Auerbach
- A jazz musician is a juggler who uses harmonies instead
of oranges. Benny Green
- Yet there is one thing the world with all its rottennesss
cannot take from us, and that is the deep and abiding joy and consolation
perpetuate in great music. Here the spirit may find home and relief
when all else fails. Eric Fenby
- Those who do not hear the music think the dancer
is a fool. anonymous
- Without music, life is a journey through a desert. Pat
Conroy
- You are the music while the music lasts. T.
S. Eliot
- Music is well said to be the speech of angels; in fact,
nothing among the utterances allowed to man is felt to be so divine.
It brings us near to the infinite. Thomas Carlyle
