Famous quotes containing the word music:
“But listen, up the road, something gulps, the church spire
Opens its eight bells out, skulls’ mouths which will not tire
To tell how there is no music or movement which secures
Escape from the weekday time. Which deadens and endures.”
—Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
“Music, ho, music such as charmeth sleep!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Always, however brutal an age may actually have been, its style transmits its music only.”
—André Malraux (1901–1976)
