Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “As if, as if, as if the disparate halves
    Of things were waiting in a betrothal known
    To none, awaiting espousal to the sound
    Of right joining, a music of ideas, the burning
    And breeding and bearing birth of harmony,
    The final relation, the marriage of the rest.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

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

    “We often love to think now of the life of men on beaches,—at least in midsummer, when the weather is serene; their sunny lives on the sand, amid the beach-grass and bayberries, their companion a cow, their wealth a jag of driftwood or a few beach plums, and their music the surf and the peep of the beech-bird.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
