Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “The manner in which Americans “consume” music has a lot to do with leaving it on their coffee tables, or using it as wallpaper for their lifestyles, like the score of a movie—it’s consumed that way without any regard for how and why it’s made.”
    —Frank Zappa (1940–1994)

    “I defied the machinery to make me its slave. Its incessant discords could not drown the music of my thoughts if I would let them fly high enough.”
    —Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)

    “Music is spiritual. The music business is not.”
    —Van Morrison (b. 1945)
