Music makes one feel so romantic - at least it always gets on one's nerves - which is the same thing nowadays.
Oscar Wilde

The earth has music for those who listen.
William Shakespeare

Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason.
Albert Camus

But music can save your life sometimes. It probably saved me from working in a bank or something. That's a kind of salvation right there.
Richard Thompson

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

When she had passed, it seemed like the ceasing of exquisite music.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I wrote a song, but I can't read music. Every time I hear a new song on the radio I think, "Hey, maybe I wrote that."
Steven Wright

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep Sea, and music in its roar, I love not Man the less, but Nature more.
Lord Byron

All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant's revolving door.
Albert Camus

A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.
Oscar Wilde

Don't play what's there, play what's not there.
Miles Davis
