Music is love in search of a word.

Ultimately, words are only words, and its only the music that stands by itself.

Feelings such as loneliness, longing or love are sometimes hard to put into words; maybe that's why we all love music, because it resonates with something we can't share.

Well-written words are music.

Music in itself carries a whole set of messages which are very, very rich and complex, and the words either serve to exclude certain ones or point up certain others.

Music fills in for words a lot of the time when people don't know what to say, and I think music can be more eloquent than words.

Music is the soul of language.

Where words fail, music speaks.

Searching for music is like searching for God. They're very similar. There's an effort to reclaim the unmentionable, the unsayable, the unseeable, the unspeakable, all those things, comes into being a composer and to writing music and to searching for notes and pieces of musical information that don't exist.
