Famous quotes containing the words incidental and/or music:

    “Besides, our action on each other, good as well as evil, is so incidental and at random, that we can seldom hear the acknowledgments of any person who would thank us for a benefit, without some shame and humiliation. We can rarely strike a direct stroke, but must be content with an oblique one; we seldom have the satisfaction of yielding a direct benefit, which is directly received.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Where should this music be? I’ th’ air, or th’ earth?
    It sounds no more.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
