Music Quotes

The music that can deepest reach, And cure all ill, is cordial speech

For me music is a vehicle to bring our pain to the surface, getting it back to that humble and tender spot where, with luck, it can lose its anger and become compassion again.

Ballroom is two people dancing together to music, touching in perfect harmony

Anton Du Beke

Medicine, to produce health, has to examine disease; and music, to create harmony, must investigate discord.

Plutarch

Plato

Breadbaking is one of those almost hypnotic businesses, like a dance from some ancient ceremony.

M.F.K. Fisher

We could say that meditation doesn't have a reason or doesn't have a purpose. In this respect it's unlike almost all other things we do except perhaps making music and dancing. When we make music we don't do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music then obviously the fastest players would be the best. Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor as in a journey. When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point. And exactly the same thing is true in meditation.

Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.

Laurie Anderson

Architecture is petrified music.

Felix E. Schelling

It pains me to watch the human suffering taking place in the gulf region of my country. I will be reaching out to others within the music industry to join me in helping to bring relief and hope to these resilient people who have lost everything.

Michael Jackson

Music is only love looking for words

Lawrence Durrell

Who hears music, feels his solitude peopled at once.

Robert Browning

Music is the shorthand of emotion.
