"That which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible
is music. Music is indivisible. Music is a means of giving form
to our inner feelings without attaching them to events or objects
in the world. What gives music its universal appeal is the very
fact that it is at the same time the most subtle and intangible
and the most primitive of all arts ... The trouble with music appreciation
in general is that people are taught to have too much respect for
music; they should be taught to love it instead. Too many people
are trying to justify the precision with which organized musical
sound is produced rather than the energy with which is manipulated
... Time is to the musician what space is to the painter ... We
can look away from pictures but we can't listen away from sounds.
It is not necessary to understand music; it is only necessary to
enjoy it. Of all the Arts, music is practiced most. The more you
love music, the more music you love."
"When music hits, you feel no pain...HIT ME WITH MUSIC"
