Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you—like music to the musician or Marxism to the Communist—or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “Through music the passions enjoy themselves.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Your remark that clams will lie quiet if music be played to them, was superfluous—entirely superfluous.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
