I’m not going to try to hide it. I am completely fascinated with quotes. I love beautiful words. Add some wonderful graphic to those beautiful words and I’m in heaven. Thank you Pinterest for deepening this love for me.
Last Friday I wanted to do something fun on the Music for All Facebook page so I asked our Facebook fans what THEIR favorite quote about music was. I was surprised by the number of quotes I had never heard before and decided to ask some of my coworkers what THEIR favorite music quotes were! I found out that I’m not alone in my love for a beautiful quote, so I thought I’d share some of them with you.
Here is what some members of the Music for All staff said:
Here are some of the favorite quotes that our Facebook Fans posted:
· “You can take me out of the music, but you can never take the music out of me”
· “Music for All is a wonderful organization and doing wonderful things!” (Sorry couldn’t resist sharing these very kind words from the Musicians of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra!)

· “Music is Art Painted on Silence”

While it is extremely hard to pick a favorite, especially after reading all of these wonderful quotes, my personal favorite music quote is:
“Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent”
Which is your favorite?
