By reading the scriptures I am so renewed that all nature seems renewed around me and with me. The sky seems to be a pure, a cooler blue, the trees a deeper green. The whole world is charged with the glory of God and I feel fire and music under my feet.
Thomas Merton

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

There is nothing stable in the world; uproar's your only music.
John Keats

Many people die with their music still in them. Why is this so? Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

Oliver Wendell Holmes

What is a poet? An unhappy person who conceals profound anguish in his heart but whose lips are so formed that as sighs and cries pass over them they sound like beautiful music.
Soren Kierkegaard

I call architecture frozen music.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Carl Jung

Most people live and die with their music still unplayed. They never dare to try.
Mary Kay Ash

Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason.
Albert Camus

Music can change the world because it can change people.
Bono

There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.
Albert Schweitzer

Alan Greenspan

Music fills the infinite between two souls.
Rabindranath Tagore

Rap is poetry set to music. But to me it's like a jackhammer.
Bette Midler

The music industry is a strange combination of having real and intangible assets: pop bands are brand names in themselves, and at a given stage in their careers their name alone can practically gaurantee hit records.
Richard Branson
