Music is our myth of the inner life.

Music is a beautiful opiate, if you don’t take it too seriously.

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

Extraordinary how potent cheap music is.

Music today is nothing more than the art of performing difficult pieces.

The god of music dwelleth out of doors.

The tune I remember, could I but keep the words.

Without music life would be a mistake.

If one hears bad music, it is one’s duty to drown it by conversation.

He who sings frightens away his ills.

All the daughters of music shall be brought low.

Music sweeps by me as a messenger / Carrying a message that is not for me.

If you have any soul worth expressing, it will show itself in your singing.
