“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)
“Yes; as the music changes, Like a prismatic glass, It takes the light and ranges Through all the moods that pass;” —Alfred Noyes (1880–1958)
“I think sometimes, could I only have music on my own terms; could I live in a great city and know where I could go whenever I wished the ablution and inundation of musical waves,—that were a bath and a medicine.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
