Quotes about Music

Here are some really good quotes related to music that I've read recently:


“I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me  – like food or water.” – Ray Charles

“It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony.” – Benjamin Britten

“Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.” – Victor Hugo

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

“Ah, music! A magic far beyond all we do here!” ― J.K Rowling, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

“Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music” ― Sergei Rachmaninov
