Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “I fear I agree with your friend in not liking all sermons. Some of them, one has to confess, are rubbish: but then I release my attention from the preacher, and go ahead in any line of thought he may have started: and his after-eloquence acts as a kind of accompaniment—like music while one is reading poetry, which often, to me, adds to the effect.”
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    “If I could believe the Quakers banned music because church music is so damn bad, I should view them with approval.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    “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)
