Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “If music be the food of love, play on,
    Give me excess of it that, surfeiting,
    The appetite may sicken and so die.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The harp that once through Tara’s halls The soul of music shed, Now hangs as mute on Tara’s walls As if that soul were fled.”
    —Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

    “As polishing expresses the vein in marble, and grain in wood, so music brings out what of heroic lurks anywhere. The hero is the sole patron of music.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
