He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice. 
Albert Einstein 

If music be the food of love, play on. 
William Shakespeare 

The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils. 
William Shakespeare 

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

Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music. 
Ronald Reagan 

If one plays good music, people don't listen and if one plays bad music people don't talk. 
Oscar Wilde 

Without music, life would be a mistake. 
Friedrich Nietzsche 

I need drama in my life to keep making music. 
Eminem 

Personally, I just think rap music is the best thing out there, period. If you look at my deck in my car radio, you're always going to find a hip-hop tape; that's all I buy, that's all I live, that's all I listen to, that's all I love. 
Eminem 

Sometimes I feel like rap music is almost the key to stopping racism. 
Eminem 

In music the passions enjoy themselves. 
Friedrich Nietzsche 

Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it. 
John Lennon 

If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that... I believe in what I do, and I'll say it. 
John Lennon 

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. 
Henry David Thoreau 

One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain. 
Bob Marley 

When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison? 
Khalil Gibran 

A good compromise, a good piece of legislation, is like a good sentence; or a good piece of music. Everybody can recognize it. They say, 'Huh. It works. It makes sense.' 
Barack Obama 

Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music. 
Jimi Hendrix 

When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest. 
Henry David Thoreau 

Military justice is to justice what military music is to music. 
Groucho Marx
