Music quotes can help us (and our students!) better understand the power of music.  Here are a few that I saw this week.

"This will be our reply to violence:  to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before." - Leonard Bernstein

"Music was my refuge.  I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness. "  Maya Angelou

“I would teach children music, physics and philosophy; but most importantly music, for in the patterns of music and all the arts are the keys of learning.”  - Plato
​
"Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music."  S. Rachmaninoff

"The only thing better than singing is more singing."  Ella Fitzgerald

"Ah, music,"  he said, wiping his eyes.  "A magic beyond all we do here!" - A. Dumbledore


“You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.”—Mark Twain

"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance."  - Aristotle
