Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “Where should this music be? I’ th’ air, or th’ earth?
    It sounds no more.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Music is either sacred or secular. The sacred agrees with its dignity, and here has its greatest effect on life, an effect that remains the same through all ages and epochs. Secular music should be cheerful throughout.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “The band waked me with a serenade. How they improve! A fine band and what a life in a regiment! Their music is better than food and clothing to give spirit to the men.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
