"Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy."

Ludwig van Beethoven

"Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it."

"Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent."

"There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we'd all love one another."

"When words leave off, music begins."

“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.”
