I may know the word, but not say it. I may know the truth, but not face it. I may hear a sound, a whisper, sacred and profound, but turn my head, indifferent. I may know the word, but not say it. I may love the fruit, but not taste it. I may know the way, to comfort and to soothe a worried face, but fold my hands, indifferentI may know the word, but not say it. This may be the time, but I might waste it. This may be the hour, something move me, something prove me wrong, before night comes, with indifference. - Natalie Merchant (Tigerlily I May Know the Word)

Music is well said to be the speech of angels."

"We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dream. Wandering by lone sea breakers, and sitting by desolate streams. World losers and world forsakers, for whom the pale moon gleams. Yet we are movers and the shakers of the world forever it seems."

Music hath charms to soothe a savage breast,
To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak."-

At first what I was playing didn't seem dissonant or complex enough. I had all sorts of intellectual reservations. Finally I just started being myself and let my music reflect that. My approach to music is a bit like talking to a friend. If you say what's in your heart, it's usually very simple."

"Stick with it and stay with what is true in your heart. Music is fun, and is for your spirit! Try many different styles of music, and always remember that music will never be a waste of your time."

Music, the greatest good that mortals know, And all of heaven we have below. ~ Joseph Addison

Mozart has the classic purity of light and the blue ocean; Beethoven the romantic grandeur which belongs to the storms of air and sea, and while the soul of Mozart seems to dwell on the ethereal peaks of Olympus, that of Beethoven climbs shuddering the storm-beaten sides of a Sinai. Blessed be they both! Each represents a moment of the ideal life, each does us good. Our love is due to both.

Today, music heralds... the establishment of a society of repetition in which nothing will happen anymore.

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

There are two golden rules for an orchestra: start together and finish together. The public doesn't give a damn what goes on in between.

Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth ~ Beethoven

It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness and of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature, and everlasting beauty of monotony.

I've outdone anyone you can name -- Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss. Irving Berlin, he wrote 1,001 tunes. I wrote 5,500. ~ James Brown

A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don't think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time.

Music is well said to be the speech of angels; in fact, nothing among the utterances allowed to man is felt to be so divine. It brings us near to the infinite.

It's a marvelous feeling when someone says "I want to do this song of yours" because they've connected to it. That's what I'm after. ~ Mary Chapin Carpenter

Without music, life is a journey through a desert.

Extraordinary how potent cheap music is.

Composers shouldn't think too much -- it interferes with their plagiarism.

The high note is not the only thing.

Music was invented to confirm human loneliness.

Mozart is sweet sunshine.

You are the music while the music lasts.

I've always felt rock and roll was very, very wholesome music. ~ Aretha Franklin

Americans want grungy people, stabbing themselves in the head on stage. They get a bright bunch like us, with deodorant on, they don't get it.

True music must repeat the thought and inspirations of the people and the time. My people are Americans and my time is today.

Sounds like the blues are composed of feeling, finesse, and fear.

The effects of good music are not just because it's new; on the contrary music strikes us more the more familiar we are with it.

Your talking to someone who really understands rock music.

A jazz musician is a juggler who uses harmonies instead of oranges.
