People often complain that music is too ambiguous, that what they should think when they hear it is so unclear, whereas everyone understands words. With me, it is exactly the opposite, and not only with regard to an entire speech but also with individual words. – Felix Mendelssohn
These seem to me so ambiguous, so vague, so easily misunderstood in comparison to genuine music, which fills the soul with a thousand things better than words. – Felix Mendelssohn
Though everything else may appear shallow and repulsive, even the smallest task in music is so absorbing, and carries us so far away from town, country, earth, and all worldly things, that it is truly a blessed gift of God. – Felix Mendelssohn
Getting over someone is a grieving process. You mourn the loss of the relationship, and thats only expedited by Out of sight, out of mind. But when you walk outside and see them on a billboard or on TV or on the cover of a magazine, it reopens the wound. Its a high-class problem, but its real. – Hank Azaria
