Words are the pen of the heart, but
music is the pen of the soul. Shneur Zalman In music's sweet harmony, I have all
the proof I need of God. Pat Conroy Thomas Moore Music, oh how faint, how weak,
Language fades before thy spell! Why should feeling ever
speak, When thou canst breathe her soul so well? Song is, after all, nothing more or
less than the soundtrack for the human
experience. Thomas Hampson I heard my people singing--in the glow
of the parlour coalstove and on the summer porches sweet
with lilac air, from choir loft and Sunday morning pews--and
my soul was filled with their harmonies. Paul Robeson Leonard Bernstein Life without music is unthinkable,
Music without life is academic. That is why my contact with
music is a total embrace. Give me books, fruit, French wine, and
fine weather and a little music out of doors, played by
someone I don't know. John Keats It appears to me that it is the
special province of music to move the heart. Karl Philipp Emanuel Bach Albert Schweitzer There are two means of refuge from the
miseries of life: music and cats. I keep good time, but I
rush..... Signe Johannes It's a pity to shoot the pianist when
the piano is out of tune. Rene Coty Sir Edward Appleton I do not mind what language an opera
is sung in so long as it's a language I don't
understand. My heart, which is so full to
overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music
when sick and weary. Martin Luther You don't get harmony when everybody
sings the same note. Doug Floyd Kin Hubbard Classical music is the kind we keep
thinking will turn into a tune. I hate music, especially when it's
played. Jimmy Durante Never forget that music is much too
important to be left entirely in the hands of
professionals. Robert Fulghum Robert Fripp Music is the wine that fills the cup
of silence.
