They said, You have a blue guitar, you do not play things as they are. The man replied, Things as they are changed upon a blue guitar.
Stevens, Wallace

18.
Their savage eyes turn'd to a modest gaze By the sweet power of music: therefore the poet Did feign that Orpheus drew trees, stones and floods; Since nought so stockish, hard and full of rage, But music for the time doth change his nature. The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils.
William Shakespeare

19.
Rock 'n Roll is monotony tinged with hysteria.
Packard, Vance

20.
Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van

21.
Musical people are so absurdly unreasonable. They always want one to be perfectly dumb at the very moment when one is longing to be absolutely deaf.
Wilde, Oscar

22.
Music hath the charm to soothe a savage beast, but I'd try a revolver first.
Billings, Josh

Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water bath is to the body.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

24.
Music is a readily available, highly effective tool that you use to improve both your cognitive and physical abilities.
Winter, Arthur

25.
We all drew on the comfort which is given out by the major works of Mozart, which is as real and material as the warmth given up by a glass of brandy.
West, Rebecca

26.

William Shakespeare

29.
A song will outlive all sermons in the memory.
Giles, Henry

30.
There's a basic rule which runs through all kinds of music, kind of an unwritten rule. I don't know what it is. But I've got it.
Wood, Ron

31.
Without music, life is a journey through a desert.
Conroy, Pat

32.
If we were all determined to play the first violin we should never have an ensemble. Therefore, respect every musician in his proper place.
Schumann, Robert

33.
A woman's two cents worth is worth two cents in the music business.
Lynn, Loretta

34.
If one hears bad music, it is one's duty to drown it by one's conversation.
Wilde, Oscar

35.
[T]here's no bad day that can't be overcome by listening to a barbershop quartet; this is just truth, plain and simple.
Chuck Sigars

36.
Alas! all music jars when the soul's out of tune.
Cervantes, Miguel De

37.
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.
Shakespeare, William

38.
Mozart is sweet sunshine.
Dvorak, Antonin

39.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
Aldous Huxley

41.
The author's conviction on this day of New Year is that music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance; that poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music; but this must not be taken as implying that all good music is dance music or all poetry lyric. Bach and Mozart are never too far from physical movement.
Pound, Ezra

42.
I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.
George Eliot

43.
I like Beethoven, especially the poems.
Starr, Ringo

44.
If you look deep enough you will see music; the heart of nature being everywhere music.
Carlyle, Thomas

45.
If a thing isn't worth saying, you sing it.
Pierre Beaumarchais

46.
I've outdone anyone you can name -- Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss. Irving Berlin, he wrote 1,001 tunes. I wrote 5,500.
Brown, James

47.
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.
Herschel, Sir John

48.
Rock 'n Roll is an asylum for emotional idiots.
Neville, Richard

49.
If anyone has conducted a Beethoven performance, and then doesn't have to go to an osteopath, then there's something wrong.
Rattle, Simon

50.
If you develop an ear for sounds that are musical it is like developing an ego. You begin to refuse sounds that are not musical and that way cut yourself off from a good deal of experience.
John Cage
