Nothing Quotes

Sometimes nothing says the most.

"Nothing" carries surprisingly different tones across this set — frustration with limited consumer protections sits next to warm nostalgia for a cheap, music-filled stretch of life in Paris. For quotes on affection and belonging, see Love quotes.

Quotes by Letitia Baldrige

Quotes by Les Baxter

To my mind and ear, there is simply nothing that compares to the musical sophistication of a late Beethoven, Bartok, Schubert or Brahms work for minimal forces.

Quotes by Leonard Slatkin
