Quotes About Adagio

But I fed myself with my own placenta. And I'm not going to bite my nails because this is a tranquil adagio.
~ Clarice Lispector
It is music that speaks to the deepest reaches of your soul, and you are lifted higher, ever higher, by the adagio, in my opinion more so even than in any of the masses that Beethoven composed.
