Quote by Voltaire

Anything too stupid to be said is sung.

Anything too stupid to be said is sung.

Summary

This quote suggests that sometimes, when ideas or opinions are so ridiculous or ludicrous, they are expressed through song, rather than using words alone. Singing allows people to present silly or incoherent thoughts in a more lighthearted or comedic tone, making them more bearable or entertaining. It implies that music can be a means to convey thoughts or feelings that may not make logical sense, but can still be enjoyed for their absurdity.
