Famous quotes with Music of the spheres

  • Sure there is music even in the beauty, and the silent note which Cupid strikes, far sweeter than the sound of an instrument. For there is music wherever there is harmony, order and proportion; and thus far we may maintain the music of the spheres; for those well ordered motions, and regular paces, though they give no sound unto the ear, yet to the understanding they strike a note most full of harmony.
    Sir Thomas Browne
  • I hear noises which others don't hear and which disturb for me the music of the spheres, which others don't hear either.
    Karl Kraus
  • The passage of the mythological herois inward—into depths where obscure resistances are overcome, and long lost, forgotten powers are revivified, to be made available for the transfiguration of the world. ...Something of the light that blazes invisible within the abysses of its normally opaque materiality breaks forth, with an increasing uproar. The dreadful mutilations are then seen as shadows, only, of an immanent, imperishable eternity; time yields to glory; and the world sings with the prodigious, angelic, but perhaps finally monotonous, siren music of the spheres. Like happy families, the myths and the worlds redeemed are all alike.
    Joseph Campbell
  • To him mythology was "the song of the universe," "the music of the spheres" — music we dance to even when we cannot name the tune.
    Joseph Campbell
