Line 1
-Too many pieces of music finish too long after they end. (Igor Stravinsky)
-Tones that sound, and roar and storm about me until I have set them down in notes. (Beethoven)

Line 2
-The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils. (William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice)
-A musicologist is a man who can read music but can't hear it. (Sir Thomas Beecham)

Line 3
-Praise Him with the harp & with the lyre (Psalms)
-When they begin the beguine, it brings back the sound of music so tender. (Cole Porter)
-Never look at the trombones, you'll only encourage them. (Richard Strauss)

Line 4
-What do you call 10 000 trombones at the bottom of the ocean? A good start.
-There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself. (Johann Sebastian Bach)

Line 5
-There is nothing more notable in Socrates than that he found time, when he was an old man, to learn music and dancing, and thought it time well spent. (Robert Fripp)
