Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.”
    —Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)

    “There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
    There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
    There is society where none intrudes
    By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
    I love not man the less, but nature more,”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “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)
