MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: It's without having learned music. MUSIC MASTER: You ought to learn it, Sir, as you are learning dancing. They are two arts which have a close connection. DANCING MASTER: And which open the mind of a man to fine things. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: And do people of quality learn music, too? MUSIC MASTER: Yes sir. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: I'll learn it then.

MUSIC MASTER: Philosophy is something; but music, sir, music . . . DANCING MASTER: Music and dancing, music and dancing, that's all that's necessary. MUSIC MASTER: There's nothing so useful in a State as music. DANCING MASTER: There's nothing so necessary to men as dancing. MUSIC MASTER: Without music, a State cannot subsist. DANCING MASTER: Without the dance, a man can do nothing. MUSIC MASTER: All the disorders, all the wars one sees in the world |
