Using your imagination is the one time in life you can really go anywhere.

World Music Day – June 21:

Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.

- Ludwig van Beethoven.

       

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

 

Life would be flat without music.
It is the background to all I do.
It speaks to the heart in its own special way like nothing else.
- Ludwig van Beethoven.

 

Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.
- Confucius.

 Music is the medicine of the mind.

- John Logan.

 If music be the food of love, play on.

- William Shakespeare.

Music can change the world.

- Ludwig van Beethoven.
