Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “The further jazz moves away from the stark blue continuum and the collective realities of Afro-American and American life, the more it moves into academic concert-hall lifelessness, which can be replicated by any middle class showing off its music lessons.”
    —Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)

    “Good music is very close to primitive language.”
    —Denis Diderot (1713–1784)

    “Taylor, the Shakespeare of divines.
    His words are music in my ear,”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
