Without music, life would be a mistake.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.
Plato
If music be the food of love, play on.
William Shakespeare
Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.
Victor Hugo
It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony.
Benjamin Britten
If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.
Albert Einstein
Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.
Ludwig van Beethoven
