Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.
Maya Angelou
If music be the food of love, play on, Give me excess of it; that surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die.
William Shakespeare
If one should desire to know whether a kingdom is well governed, if its morals are good or bad, the quality of its music will furnish the answer.
Confucius
Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.
Victor Hugo
With the truth, all given facts harmonize; but with what is false, the truth soon hits a wrong note.
Aristotle, The Nicomachean Ethics
There is no feeling, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in music.
George Eliot (1819-80)
Without music, life would be a mistake.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue.
Plato
Music washes away from the dust of everyday life.
Berthold Auerbach (1812-1882)
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
