I Would Fail :(

My definition of an intellectual is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture without thinking of the Lone Ranger.

Nature’s Music

Forest Throne by Lorelyne

Forest Throne by Lorelyne

I listened, motionless and still; And, as I mounted up the hill, The music in my heart I bore, Long after it was heard no more.
**William Wordsworth

It’s a Beautiful Song

Of all the music that reached farthest into heaven, it is the beating of a loving heart.
**Henry Ward Beecher

Better Bring the Forks With!

“If I ever go to China, I’m going to find a piano and play “Chopsticks”–only not with my fingers, but rather I’ll be using two forks.”

**Jarod Kintz

Memory’s Tune

“Someone’s memory becomes a song. And that song becomes someone else’s memory. That’s how the cycle goes, round and round.”

**My Lovely Girl

Depends on the Music

“If a King Loves Music,

There is Little Wrong in the Land”

**Mencius

The Deepest Romance

“Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one’s life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down; perhaps it crept to one’s side like an old friend through quiet ways; perhaps it revealed itself in seeming prose, until some sudden shaft of illumination flung athwart its pages betrayed the rhythm and the music, perhaps . . . perhaps . . . love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath.” 

**L.M. Montgomery

He Who Moves to a Different Melody

“If a man does not keep pact with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.”

–Henry David Thoreau

One of my favorite quotes. 🙂

It Makes Life Whole

“Without music, life would be a mistake.”

**Friedrich Nietzsche
