There's music in the gushing of a rill;
There's music in all things, if men had ears:
Their earth is but an echo of the spheres.
~Lord Byron
Music is the poetry of the air.
~Jean Paul Richter
Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.
~Ludwig van Beethoven
Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn.
~Charlie Parker
He who hears music, feels his solitude peopled at once.
~Robert Browning
Music, when soft voices die
Vibrates in the memory -
~Percy Bysshe Shelley
Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.
~Confucius
When you hear music, after it's over, it's gone, in the air. You can never capture it again.
~Eric Dolphy
Information is not knowledge.
Knowledge is not wisdom.
Wisdom is not truth.
Truth is not beauty.
Beauty is not love.
Love is not music.
Music is the best...
~Frank Zappa
