Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “Music, ho, music such as charmeth sleep!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “And in the next instant, immediately behind them, Victor saw his former wife.
    At once he lowered his gaze, automatically tapping his cigarette to dislodge the ash that had not yet had time to form. From somewhere low down his heart rose like a fist to deliver an uppercut, drew back, struck again, then went into a fast disorderly throb, contradicting the music and drowning it.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “My love shall hear the music of my hounds.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
