Some to church repair,

Not for the doctrine, but the music there.

-- Alexander Pope

 

Music resembles poetry; in each

Are nameless graces which no methods teach,

And which a master-hand alone can reach.

 --Alexander Pope

 

Music is to the mind as air to the body.

-- Plato

 

Music is the only one of the fine arts in which not only man, but all other animals, have a common property.

-- Jean Paul
