Et mon commencement ma fin.

More quotes by Guillaume de Machaut

He who makes songs without feeling
Spoils both his words and his music.

And Music is an art which likes people to laugh and sing and dance. It cares nothing for melancholy, nor for a man who sorrows over what is of no importance, but ignores, instead, such folk. It brings joy everywhere it's present; it comforts the disconsolate, and just hearing it makes people rejoice.
