On music:
"A life without music would be an intolerable insult." --Edward Abbey EDIT and INSERT
"Music endures and ages far better than books. Books, made of words, are unavoidably attached to ideas, events, conflict, and history, but music has the power to transcend time. At least for a time. Palestrina sounds as fresh today as he did in 1555, but Dante, only three centuries older, already smells of the archaic, the medieval, the catacombs." --Edward Abbey
"Music begins where words leave off. Music expresses the inexpressible. If there is a Kingdom of Heaven, it lies in music." --Edward Abbey
"Music clouds the intellect but clarifies the heart." --Edward Abbey |
