We listened to a lot of Rolling Stones and Beatles records when we were recording. They were really good at not playing loud, but generating really big sounds out of everything.

Mike Lowry quote on Listening to Rolling Stones and Beatles

Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.

John Keats | Melodies

If you can imagine a man having a vasectomy without anesthetic to the sound of frantic sitar-playing, you will have some idea what popular Turkish music is like.

Bill Bryson – Turkish music

I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.

George Eliot – Want, Music

It is always fatal to have music or poetry interrupted.

George Eliot – Poetry, Music

Men profess to be lovers of music, but for the most part they give no evidence in their opinions and lives that they have heard it.

Henry David Thoreau – Music

Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.

G.K. Chesterton – Music

Great music and art are earthly wonders, but I think ‘cubist’ songs and paintings are hideous.

Thomas Alva Edison – Music

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

Maya Angelou – Music, Refuge

There is no feeling, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in music.

George Eliot on relief and music
