"MUSICAL QUOTATIONS"

Musical quotations published in the early 1900's by National Bureau For The Advancement Of Music, 45 West 45Th street, New York City:

"Music washes from the soul the dust of everyday life" Auerbach
"Music is a kind of inarticulate, unfathomable speech, which leads us to the edge of the infinite, and impels us for a moment to gaze into it." Carlyle
"Music is the medicine of the breaking heart." Leigh Hunt
"Music is love in search of a word." Sidney Lanier
"My heart, which is full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary." Martin Luther
"There is no music in a rest, but there is the making of music in it. In our whole life-melody the music is broken off here and there by 'rests', and we foolishly think we have come to the end of the tune." Ruskin
"Music is a moral law, it gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything else. It is the essence of order and leads to all that is good, just and beautiful." Plato
