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

All of the great musicians have borrowed from the songs of the common people.

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

Music is our myth of the inner life.

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

Dance tunes are always right.

He who sings frightens away his ills.

The god of music dwelleth out of doors.

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

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

I would delight in music, but the music is discordant.

Extraordinary how potent cheap music is.

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