You are the music while the music lasts.
T. S. Eliot

Music is forever; music should grow and mature with you, following you right on up until you die.
Paul Simon

Music happens to be an art form that transcends language.
Herbie Hancock

If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music.
Gustav Mahler

Music has charms to sooth a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.
William Congreve
