Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.”
    —Frank Zappa (1940–1993)

    “Through music the passions enjoy themselves.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “The further jazz moves away from the stark blue continuum and the collective realities of Afro-American and American life, the more it moves into academic concert-hall lifelessness, which can be replicated by any middle class showing off its music lessons.”
    —Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)
