Best Quotes about Music

The pleasure we feel in music springs from the obedience which is in it.

Thoreau, Henry David

Music and woman I cannot but give way to, whatever my business is.

Pound, Ezra

Durrell, Lawrence

Extraordinary how potent cheap music is.

Coward, Noel

Just as certain selections of music will nourish your physical body and your emotional layer, so other musical works will bring greater health to your mind.

Dan Rather

15.

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.

Carey, Mariah

16.

The politics of Eden come loud.

Steiner, George

26.

I am fond of music I think because it is so amoral. Everything else is moral and I am after something that isn't. I have always found moralizing intolerable.

Hesse, Hermann

27.

Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears form the eyes of woman.

Beethoven, Ludwig Van

28.

Hell is full of musical amateurs.

George Bernard Shaw

29.

Music is the shorthand of emotion.

Tolstoy, Count Leo

30.

The opera is to music what a bawdy house is to a cathedral.

Mencken, H. L.

Luther, Martin
