Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons. You will find it is to the soul what a water bath is to the body.

If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music.

Musical compositions, it should be remembered, do not inhabit certain countries, certain museums, like paintings and statues. The Mozart Quintet is not shut up in Salzburg: I have it in my pocket.

If I were to begin life again, I would devote it to music. It is the only cheap and unpunished rapture upon earth.

Music and silence combine strongly because music is done with silence, and silence is full of music.

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

I have my own particular sorrows, loves, delights; and you have yours. But sorrow, gladness, yearning, hope, love, belong to all of us, in all times and in all places. Music is the only means whereby we feel these emotions in their universality.

Music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music.

My idea is that there is music in the air, music all around us; the world is full of it, and you simply take as much as you require.

Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn.

Just as certain selections of music will nourish your physical body and your emotional layer, so other musical works will bring greater health to your mind.

Music rots when it gets too far from the dance. Poetry atrophies when it gets too far from music.

Most people use music as a couch; they want to be pillowed on it, relaxed and consoled for the stress of daily living. But serious music was never meant to be soporific.
