Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “I think sometimes, could I only have music on my own terms; could I live in a great city and know where I could go whenever I wished the ablution and inundation of musical waves,—that were a bath and a medicine.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “This music crept by me upon the waters,
    Allaying both their fury and my passion
    With its sweet air; thence have I followed it,
    Or it hath drawn me rather.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Through music the passions enjoy themselves.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
