Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “But listen, up the road, something gulps, the church spire
    Opens its eight bells out, skulls’ mouths which will not tire
    To tell how there is no music or movement which secures
    Escape from the weekday time. Which deadens and endures.”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    “My love shall hear the music of my hounds.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Great music is that which penetrates the ear with facility and leaves the memory with difficulty. Magical music never leaves the memory.”
    —Thomas Beecham (1879–1961)
