Music is such a large part of our lives, how often do we consider why it moves us like it does? These are just a few of the quotes I have found over the years that capture the nature of humanity’s relationship with music. Please use the comments function to share your feelings about music!
Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without. – Confucius
The pleasure we obtain from music comes from counting, but counting unconsciously. Music is nothing but unconscious arithmetic. – Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. – Aldous Huxley, Music at Night and Other Essays
The discovery of song and the creation of musical instruments both owed their origin to a human impulse which lies much deeper than conscious intention: the need for rhythm in life… the need is a deep one, transcending thought, and disregarded at our peril. – Richard Baker
Music expresses feeling and thought, without language; it was below and before speech, and it is above and beyond all words. – Robert G. Ingersoll
