Life without labor is guilt; Labor without art is brutality.
Walter J. Kohler.

My personal hobbies are reading, listening to music, and silence.
Edith Sitwell

A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.
Victor Hugo

Music is the only language in which you cannot say a mean or sarcastic thing.
John Erskine
