Time Music

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or music:

    And we who delve in beauty’s lore
    Know all that we have known before
    Of what inexorable cause
    Makes Time so vicious in his reaping.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea! Ah, how low I fall when I am tempted by them! Even music may be intoxicating. Such apparently slight causes destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
