Music gives peace to the restless, and comforts the sorrowful. They who no longer know where to turn find new ways, and those who have despaired gain new confidence and love. The heart of the melody can never be put on paper. All music jars when the soul's out of tune. Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity.
Art is the triumph over chaos.
Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist. Music is the soul of geometry. Military justice is to justice what military music is to music. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it. Critics don't buy records.
