Famous quotes containing the word music:

    The time was once, when thou unurged wouldst vow
    That never words were music to thine ear,
    That never object pleasing in thine eye,
    That never touch well welcome to thy hand,
    That never meat sweet-savored in thy taste,
    Unless I spake, or looked, or touched, or carved to thee.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    If you really believe music is dangerous, you should let it go in one ear and out the other.
    José Bergamín (1895–1983)

    I defied the machinery to make me its slave. Its incessant discords could not drown the music of my thoughts if I would let them fly high enough.
    Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)
