Remembered it. "But you are the music/ while the music lasts". Liam Send a noteboard - 23/02/2010 12:02:12 AM
I am going to purchase a new iPod and instead of getting my initials as the free engraving, I want to do a quote about music. I have two favorites at the moment:

TS Eliot: You are the music
While the music lasts

O'Shaunessy:
We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams

SO! I ask the lot of you...what are your favorite quotes regarding music, be it pithy, witty, deep, or Seussical?


...but it mightn't be appropriate. It's by Keats of course.


"There's music in all things, if men had ears:
Their earth is but an echo of the spheres." - Byron.

There's a few I really love, but I can't think of a single one of them for some reason. I am convinced there's something good by Eliot but it eludes me.
