Melody Strings

Famous quotes containing the words melody and/or strings:

“Perhaps all music, even the newest, is not so much something discovered as something that re-emerges from where it lay buried in the memory, inaudible as a melody cut in a disc of flesh. A composer lets me hear a song that has always been shut up silent within me.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)

“There are strings in the human heart that had better not be wibrated.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
