Music
Quotes - To live is to be musical, starting with the blood dancing in your
veins
“I
once had a dreams of becoming a beautiful poet, but upon an unfortunate series
of events some of those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the
night sky that I wished on over and over again, sparkling and broken.
But
I didn't really mind, because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever
wanted, and then losing it to know what true freedom is.”

“I
love science, and it pains me to think that so many are terrified of the
subject or feel that choosing science means you cannot also choose compassion,
or the arts, or be awed by nature. Science is not meant to cure us of mystery,
but to reinvent and reinvigorate it.”

ask me how I make music. I tell them I just step into it. It's like stepping

“But
when ye come, and all the flowers are dying,
If
I am dead, as dead I well may be,
You'll
come and find the place where I am lying,
And
kneel and say Ave there for me,
And
I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,
And
all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,
For
you will bend and tell me that you love me,
And
I shall sleep in peace until you come to me”

“Joy,
sorrow, tears, lamentation, laughter -- to all these music gives voice, but in
such a way that we are transported from the world of unrest to a world of
peace, and see reality in a new way, as if we were sitting by a mountain lake
and contemplating hills and woods and clouds in the tranquil and fathomless
water.”

Albert Schweitzer

love the way music inside a car makes you feel invisible; if you play the
stereo at max volume, it's almost like the other people can't see into your
vehicle. It tints your windows, somehow.”

“Even
so, there were times I saw freshness and beauty. I could smell the air, and I
really loved rock 'n' roll. Tears were warm, and girls were beautiful, like
dreams. I liked movie theaters, the darkness and intimacy, and I liked the
deep, sad summer nights.”

“The
voice so filled with nostalgia that you could almost see the memories floating
through the blue smoke, memories not only of music and joy and youth, but
perhaps, of dreams. They listened to the music, each hearing it in his own way,
feeling relaxed and a part of the music, a part of each other, and almost a
part of the world. ”
