When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the
earliest times, and to the latest.
Henry David Thoreau
The truest expression of a people is in its dance and music.
Agnes de Mille
There is no feeling, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in
music.
George Eliot
Don't you worry, and don't you hurry.' I know that phrase by heart, and if all other music
should perish out of the world it would still sing to me.
Mark Twain, from Home Conditions 1900, referring to a saying from
his Grandmother
Life without music would be a mistake.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Music is a higher revelation than philosophy.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Music is harmony, harmony is perfection, perfection is our dream, and our dream is heaven.
Amiel
I listened, motionless and still;
And, as I mounted up the hill,
The music in my heart I bore,
Long after it was heard no more.
William Wordsworth
im·pri·ma·tur noun 1. Abbr. imp. Official approval or license to print or
publish, especially under conditions of censorship. 2.a. Official approval; sanction. b. A
mark of official approval: a directive bearing the imprimatur of high officials. [New
Latin imprim³tur, let it be printed, third person sing. present subjunctive passive of
Latin imprimere, to imprint.]
Who advertise new poems by your looks,
Your 'imprimatur' will ye not annex?
What! must I go to the oblivious cooks,
Those Cornish plunderers of Parnassian wrecks?
Ah! must I then the only minstrel be,
Proscribed from tasting your Castalian tea!
DON JUAN
by George Byron
