“Music is nothing else but wild sounds civilized into time and tune.”

“It seemed hardly feasible that anyone could tune an oil barrel, and even less credible that the barrel could make music like nothing else in the world. She thought those sounds were magic.”

“I was irrevocably betrothed to laughter, the sound of which has always seemed to me to be the most civilized music in the world. ”

“I like music that's more offensive. I like it to sound like nails on a blackboard, get me wild.”

“The beautiful thing is, music can be like a time machine. One song- the lyrics, the melody, the mood- can take you back to a moment in time like nothing else can.”

“Music was a chain forged half of silences and half of sound, love was nothing without longing and loss, and were time not to have at its end the absence of time, and the absence of time not to have been preceded by time, neither would be of any consequence.”
