Pick a word. Find quotes about it. Post quotes about it you like. (Thanks for this idea to [profile] moira_ramsay.)

O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour! - William Shakespeare

One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain. - Bob Marley
