When I am not too sad to listen, music is my consolation.

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

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

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.

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

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

People think the Beatles know what's going on. We don't. We're just doing it.

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

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