Music Quotes
From Wisdom Quotes: Quotations to inspire and challenge - by Jone Johnson Lewis

## Music Quotations Albert Einstein: If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. Albert Schweitzer: There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats. Henry David Thoreau: 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. John Adams: I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain. Louis-Ferdinand Céline: To hell with reality! I want to die in music, not in reason or in prose. People don't deserve the restraint we show by not going into delirium in front of them. To hell with them! Percy Bysshe Shelley: Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.
