I have heard some pretty cool quotes pertaining to music, so I wanted to see if any1 else has heard any good ones, these are my favorites:

"Where words fail, music speaks"

"Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought"

"These are bagpipes. I understand the inventor of the bagpipes was inspired when he saw a man carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the man-made sound never equalled the purity of the sound achieved by the pig." -alfred hitchcock

i can say this because we have a bagpipe band at our school! they just won't shut up! jk, i love them.
