It Does Not Smell

I have become saddened by the lack of some pithy, meaningful quote in the signature of my emails. Since most of my correspondence has to do with music, I went to Bartleby.com and did a search for "music." So far the resultant haul has been less than inspiring. Some of the better ones:

Music I heard with you was more than music,
And bread I broke with you was more than bread
-Conrad Aiken

[Music] can be made anywhere, is invisible and does not smell.
-W. H. Auden

Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.
-Frank Zappa (1940–1993)
