Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “The average educated man in America has about as much knowledge of what a political idea is as he has of the principles of counterpoint. Each is a thing used in politics or music which those fellows who practise politics or music manipulate somehow. Show him one and he will deny that it is politics at all. It must be corrupt or he will not recognize it. He has only seen dried figs. He has only thought dried thoughts. A live thought or a real idea is against the rules of his mind.”
    —John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)

    “Noble and wise men once believed in the music of the spheres: noble and wise men still continue to believe in the “moral significance of existence.” But one day even this sphere-music will no longer be audible to them! They will wake up and take note that their ears were dreaming.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “The music in my heart I bore,
    Long after it was heard no more.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
