Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “When we are in health, all sounds fife and drum for us; we hear the notes of music in the air, or catch its echoes dying away when we awake in the dawn.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Orpheus with his lute made trees
    And the mountain tops that freeze
    Bow themselves when he did sing.
    To his music plants and flowers
    Ever sprung, as sun and showers
    There had made a lasting spring.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
