Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “So gladly, from the songs of modern speech
    Men turn, and see the stars, and feel the free
    Shrill wind beyond the close of heavy flowers,
    And through the music of the languid hours,
    They hear like ocean on a western beach
    The surge and thunder of the Odyssey.”
    —Andrew Lang (1844–1912)

    “As I define it, rock & roll is dead. The attitude isn’t dead, but the music is no longer vital. It doesn’t have the same meaning. The attitude, though, is still very much alive—and it still informs other kinds of music.”
    —David Byrne (b. 1952)

    “We often feel sad in the presence of music without words; and often more than that in the presence of music without music.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
