Very nice quotes. I had never heard any of them before. And that is odd as they are so natural it would seem like somebody would remember "Without music life would be a mistake." Nietzsche.
"A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence." - Leopold Stokowski
Loved it.
Those quotes are brilliant.
I'd only heard the Shakespeare one. I love the Dick Clark one, it's so true. When you hear certain pieces of music it takes you back to the time in your life when you heard it.
The Plato one is very perceptive and Oscar Wilde's so funny.
Music has always been a big part of my life. From Mom singing in the choir, my brother's extensive album collection to my Dad and I playing guitar together.
This post brings about a whole slew of good memories.
Thanks, Patty!
Especially coming from Nietzsche! I just watched a series of videos about the string theory and it was said that the voice of God could be heard in music- because music is heard in space. Awesome!!
How are you Miss Patty? I miss you!!
Just reading Dick Clarks quote "Music is the soundtrack of your life." Brings back many songs of my teen-age years. Especially, watching his Dance show each afternoon and listening to the latest hits of the day. Those were the days...
Lex Barker always has the best quotes! Love all of these. And this one, I have to try-
Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water-bath is to the body. - Oliver Wendell Holmes
