“Without music, life would be a mistake.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
“Next to God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world.” ~ Martin Luther
I am an aspiring writer, lover of words, music, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Reflections: Or a Mirror of Life 
How strange- that these two would ever be quoted together!
Study in contrast, eh? 😉 Seriously, I like the quotes by both of these men, but only one do I respect. However, sometimes I think blinded men can stumble upon little glimmers of truth, and love of good music is definitely a gift from God, that can be appreciated by all men. Certainly something for me to ponder though – Nietzsche simply said life would be a mistake. Luther put it in its’ proper perspective so well…as a gift from God. Thanks for pointing out the vast contrast…honestly didn’t think about it til now. 🙂
A contrast indeed. Love this- “I like the quotes by both of these men, but only one do I respect. However, sometimes I think blinded men can stumble upon little glimmers of truth, and love of good music is definitely a gift from God, that can be appreciated by all men” So True!!!
Great quotes! Thanks for posting. 🙂
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed them – I take it you are a music lover as well? 🙂
Music lover and musician. 😀 It’s pretty important to me.
Same here. 🙂
You play? 🙂
I do. Piano for 10 years and violin for 9. Music is pretty special to me. (I mess around with the guitar, harmonica, and would like to purchase a cello, banjo, and harp in my Someday-I-will-do-these-things dreams). 🙂 How bout you?
I play piano and violin and I’d like to learn the cello also. 😀
Music…what would we do without it?
I shudder to think. 😉
