Where words fail, music speaks.
Hans Christian Andersen
Life is like music; it must be composed by ear, feeling, and instinct, not by rule.
Samuel Butler
My music will go on forever. Maybe it's a fool say that, but when me know facts me can say facts. My music will go on forever.
Bob Marley
There are two golden rules for an orchestra: start together and finish together. The public doesn't give a damn what goes on in between.

Agnes de Mile
The history of a people is found in its songs.
Music was invented to confirm human loneliness.
Lawrence Durrell
Extraordinary how potent cheap music is.
Noel Coward
Your talking to someone who really understands rock music.
Tipper Gore
Music and dancing (the more the pity) have become so closely associated with ideas of riot and debauchery among the less cultivated classes, that a taste for them, for their own sakes, can hardly be said to exist, and before they can be recommended as innocent or safe amusements, a very great change of ideas must take place.
John Herschel
Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Red Auerbach
Every man's work, whether it be literature or music or pictures or anything else, is always a portrait of himself, and the more he tries to conceal himself the more clearly will his character appear in spite of him.
Samuel Butler
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.
Albert Einstein
Music is the vernacular of the human soul.
Geoffrey Latham
Music is a beautiful opiate, if you don't take it too seriously.
Henry Miller
I think my fans will follow me into our combined old age. Real musicians and real fans stay together for a long, long time
Bonnie Raitt
Give me a laundry list and I'll set it to music
Gioacchino Antonio Rossini
I've always felt rock and roll was very, very wholesome music.
Aretha Franklin, [Queen of Soul] Motown singer, performer
The poet ranks far below the painter in the representation of visible things, and far below the musician in that of invisible things.
Leonardo da Vinci
If you can walk you can dance. If you can talk you can sing.
Zimbabwe Proverb
Country music is three chords and the truth.
Harlan Howard
Teaching music is not my main purpose. I want to make good citizens. If children hear fine music from the day of their birth and learn to play it, they develop sensitivity, discipline and endurance. They get a beautiful heart.
Shinichi Suzuki
As any jazz musician knows, it takes flexibility and adaptability for improvisation to create beauty.
Doc Childre and Bruce Cryer
Music isn't just learning notes and playing them, You learn notes to play to the music of your soul.
Katie Greenwood
Jazz came to America three hundred years ago in chains.
Paul Whiteman
A jazz musician is a juggler who uses harmonies instead of oranges.
Benny Green
Jazz will endure just as long people hear it through their feet instead of their brains.
John Philip Sousa
All my concerts had no sounds in them; they were completely silent. People had to make up their own music in their minds!
Yoko Ono
There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we'd all love one another.
Frank Zapp
A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don't think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time.
Mariah Carey
