Many people die with their music still in them.  Why is this so?  Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live.  Before they know it, time runs out.

-- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Music and silence combine strongly because music is done with silence, and silence is full of music.

-- Marcel Marceau

Music is love in search of a word.

-- Sidney Lanier
