Aaron Sorkin, Words and Music, The West Wing

"Words! Words! Words when spoken out loud for the sake of performance are music. They have rhythm and pitch and timbre and volume.  These are the properties of music. And music has the ability to find us, and move us, and lift us up in ways that literal meaning can’t. Do you see?"

-President Bartlet, The West Wing
