Music is a part of us, and either ennobles or degrades our behavior.

Men think God is destroying them because he is tuning them. The violinist screws up the key till the tense cord sounds the concert pitch; but it is not to break it, but to use it tunefully, that he stretches the string upon the musical rack.

Music, once admitted into the soul, becomes a sort of spirit, and never dies.

That's where rock 'n roll is really at. Driving around in a car with the radio on.

Music is an invisible dance, as dancing is a silent music.

There is no real coming and going, For what is going but coming?

People who make music together cannot be enemies, at least not while the music lasts.

There is music in all things, if men had ears.

Music is the arithmetic of sounds as optics is the geometry of light.

... there are chords in every human heart. If we only knew how to strike the right chord, we would bring out the music.
