Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “As polishing expresses the vein in marble, and grain in wood, so music brings out what of heroic lurks anywhere. The hero is the sole patron of music.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Did the kiss of Mother Mary
    Put that music in her face?
    Yet she goes with footstep wary,
    Full of earth’s old timid grace.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “We may live without poetry, music and art;
    We may live without conscience, and live without heart;
    We may live without friends; we may live without books;
    But civilized man cannot live without cooks.”
    —Owen Meredith (1831–1891)
