Balance/music

Famous quotes containing the words balance and/or music:

“Both the man of science and the man of art live always at the edge of mystery, surrounded by it.

This cannot be an easy life.”
—J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904–1967)

“All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
