The pleasure we obtain from music comes from counting, but counting unconsciously. Music is nothing but unconscious arithmetic. – Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
Linguistic philosophers continue to argue that probably music is not a language, that is in the philosophical debate. Another point of view is to say that music is a very profound language. – Robert Fripp
It had never occurred to me before that music and thinking are so much alike. In fact you could say music is another way of thinking, or maybe thinking is another kind of music. – Ursula K. Le Guin
