I wish to make a special appeal to mothers to take up the sacred responsibility of keeping the lamp of sangita (music) burning bright in their homes and to instill a love for good music in their children from a tender age.
Music is to me, proof of the existence of God. It is so extraordinarily full of magic, and in tough times of my life I can listen to music and it makes such a difference.
-Kurt Vonnegut
Music, when soft voices die, vibrates in the memory.
-Percy Bysshe Shelley
"The Complete Poems"
You have to take a deep breath and allow the music to flow through you. Revel in it, allow yourself to awe. When you play, allow the music to break your heart with its beauty.
-Kelly White
Speaking unspoken words, music is a good way to say.
-Toba Beta
"Betelgeuse Incident"
It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the audience is deaf.
-Walter Lippmann
I tried to look at writing a song almost like solving a mystery. The song was there, buried somewhere in my brain. All I had to do was follow the clues until I figured it out.
-Jon Skovron
"Struts & Frets"
If one should desire to know whether a kingdom is well governed, if its morals are good or bad, the quality of its music will furnish the answer.
-Confucius
Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart
-Pablo Casals
Tragedy absorbs the highest musical ecstasies, and thus brings music to a state of true perfection.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
