Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “Franceska: I was happy in the life I built up for myself. I put a fine high wall of music around me and nothing could touch me. I was safe and secure. And then you had to come along and knock it all down and I hate you for that.
    Maxwell: On the contrary, you love me.”
    —Muriel Box (b. 1905)

    “Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.”
    —Frank Zappa (1940–1993)
