"Music is intended and designed for sentient beings that have hopes and purposes and emotions." ― Jacques Barzun Topic(s): Music More From Jacques Barzun "Except among those whose education has been in the minimalist style, it is understood that hasty moral judgments about the past are a form of injustice." "Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition." "If civilization has risen from the Stone Age, it can rise again from the Wastepaper Age." More In Music "It is reasonable to expect the doctor to recognize that science may not have all the answers to problems of health and healing."― Norman Cousins "I like all kinds of music. I listen to Abigail Washburn, the Punch Brothers, and Marc Johnson, the great clawhammer player. I also listen a lot to Sirius Radio, there’s a lot of bluegrass there."― Steve Martin "All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock, I don’t subscribe to any of that. It’s all just music. I mean, the heavy metal from the Seventies sounds nothing like the stuff from the Eighties, and that sounds nothing like the stuff from the Nineties. Who’s to say what is and isn’t a certain type of music?"― Ozzy Osbourne
