Music Revolution | 100+ Famous Quotes About Music
Out of all the art that the human kind has devised, music is the most direct and the closest one to our life’s pace. Even today, the sound of music unites, makes thousands of people hum a tune sung live at a concert, and is one of the principal types of art used for actual healing. Nietzsche said that ‘without music, life would be a mistake’ and Leonard Bernstein pointed out that ‘music can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable’. As a medium, music can be considered as vital as the air we breathe.
No wonder why so many famous people emphasized the importance that this type of artistic expression has for the entire mankind. Our collection of famous music quotes comes to prove that there is probably nothing negative to say about man’s idea to hit objects and instruments that produce frequencies in order to express the infinity of our soul.
