| If I were not a
physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my
daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.

loveliness. The notes I handle no better than many pianists, But the pauses between the notes -- ah, that is where the art resides! Arthur Schnabel Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard 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.

Next to theology I give music the highest place of honor. Martin Luther "What a divine calling is music!

Mendelssohn, Felix (1809-1847) All music is important if it comes from the heart. ~ Carlos Santana Who hears music feels his solitude
peopled at once. Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought. --E.Y.

Schelling You are the music while the music lasts. Truly there would be a reason to go mad were it not for music .Tchaikovsky Music is love in search of a word. Lanier, Sidney (1842-1881) The aim of music is not to express feelings but to express music. It is not a vessel into which the composer distills his soul drop by drop, but a labyrinth with no beginning and no end, full of new paths to discover, where mystery remains eternal. Pierre Boulez Music expresses that which can not be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. ~ Victor Hugo A good composer does not imitate; he steals. Igor Stravinsky Conductors must give unmistakable and suggestive signals to the orchestra, not choreography to the audience.

Joan Baez I have a sweet tooth for song and music. This is my Polish sin. Pope John Paul II Music does not express the passions, love or longings of this or that individual in this or that situation; it IS passion, love and longing. Wagner, Richard It seems to me that those songs that have been any good, I have nothing
much to do with the writing of them. The words have just crawled down my
sleeve and come out on the page. Music is the shorthand of emotion. Tolstoy I have been told that Wagner's music is better than it sounds. Mark Twain I write music with an exclamation point! Richard Wagner Music may be termed the universal language of mankind, by which human feelings are made equally intelligible to all. Liszt, Franz (1811-1886)

Too many pieces of music finish too long after the end. Music conveys moods and images. Even in opera, where plots deal with the structure of destiny, it's music, not words, that provides power. Marcel Marceau Music and silence . . . combine strongly because music is done with silence, and silence is full of music. Marcel Marceau It's easy to play any musical instrument: all you have to do is touch the
right key at the right time and the instrument will play itself. Most of us go to our grave with our music still inside of us. What we play is life. Louis Armstrong The voice of God is heard in music. L. Walkup

rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul, on
which they mightily fasten, imparting
I love power. But it is as an artist that I love it. I love it as a musician loves his violin, to draw out its sounds and chords and harmonies. Napoleon Bonaparte It had never occurred to me before that music and thinking are so much
alike. In fact you could say music is another way of thinking, or maybe
thinking is another kind of music. In music one must think with the heart and feel with the brain.
Do not neglect your music. It will be a companion which will sweeten many hours of life to you. (Thomas Jefferson to Martha, 4 April, FAM51) You are the music while the music lasts. We are aware that the conductor is not really making the music , it is making him -- if he is relaxed, open and attuned, then the invisible will take possession of him; through him, it will reach us.

Life gives to every man a staff and scale of notes.
The song he sings is one of his own fashioning.
