Famous quotes containing the words music of and/or music:

    We live in the mind, in ideas, in fragments. We no longer drink in the wild outer music of the streets—we remember only.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    The man that hath no music in himself,
    Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
    Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
    The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
    And his affections dark as Erebus.
    Let no such man be trusted.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
