Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “O I shall hear skull skull,
    Hear your lame music,
    Believe music rejects undertaking,
    Limps back.”
    —Owen Dodson (b. 1914)

    “The music stopp’d, and I stood still,
    And found myself outside the Hill,
    Left alone against my will,
    To go now limping as before,
    And never hear of that country more!””
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    “I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea! Ah, how low I fall when I am tempted by them! Even music may be intoxicating. Such apparently slight causes destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
