Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche@friedrich-nietzsche · 1889

Without music, life would be a mistake. I am a philosopher who has said so many quotable things that I distrust quotation. But this one I stand by. Music was the art that went below language — below argumentation, below the categories, into the place where life validates itself without requiring reasons.

Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols, Maxims and Arrows §33 (1889)
