Music is God's best gift to man, the only art of heaven given to earth, the only art of earth we take to heaven.

-- Walter Savage Landor

 

Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard

     Are sweeter; Therefore, ye soft pipes, play on;

Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear'd, 

     Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone.

-- John Keats

 

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

-- Aldous Huxley

 

Music is the medicine of the breaking heart.

-- Leigh Hunt

 

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

-- Victor Hugo
