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

Extraordinary how potent cheap music is.

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

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

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

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

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

Without music life would be a mistake.

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

All the daughters of music shall be brought low.

He who sings frightens away his ills.

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

I never practice, I always play.
