But when you get music and words together, that can be a very powerful thing.
The wise musicians are those who play what they can master.
No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible.
There's nothing like music to relieve the soul and uplift it.
Music has charms to sooth a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.
I don't know anything about music. In my line you don't have to.
When words leave off, music begins.
Music is the literature of the heart; it commences where speech ends.
Music expresses feeling and thought, without language; it was below and before speech, and it is above and beyond all words.
In music the passions enjoy themselves.
