This phrase comes from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Duke Orsino is upset that his courtship for the dear Olivia is not going well and asks for an abundance of love so that he will lose his appetite for it. He says:
"If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die."
It's actually not as happy of a quote as what people think it to be.
