"Music can lift us out of depression or move us to tears - it is a remedy, a tonic, orange juice for the ear. But for many of my neurological patients, music is even more - it can provide access, even when no medication can, to movement, to speech, to life. For them, music is not a luxury, but a necessity." - Oliver Sacks (Neurologist & author of Musicophillia: Tales of Music and the Brain)

There are a lot of interesting quotes written through the decades, but given my deep appreciation, admiration & need of music in my life, this one has had a lasting presence in my mind. What are some of your favorite quotes to share -whether it be reflective, humorous, educational, inspirational, a song verse - you like it, you name it

This is one of my own. I keep it on my facebook because I like it, and I hate drama.
But, even I need to be reminded of this one sometimes. :oops:

"Don't step in the dog poop." -- Hoagiepete ...

as my daughters headed to the bus each morning (our front yard seemed to be a dumping spot for many walking dogs). Watch for an upcoming book with the same title. It was both a metaphorical and literal statement which I explained the consequences of many times .

"I am going to rip out your eyes and piss in your brain."- Clarence Beaks, Trading Places movie. I think he said it to Al Franken and Jim Belushi.

Beaks is the dude who worked for Mortimer and Randall Duke of Duke and Duke Associates, getting inside info on stocks. He ended up in a gorilla suit on his way to a far away island with a female gorilla in heat.
