Music Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Music

Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears form the eyes of woman.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van

2.
You are the music while the music lasts.
Eliot, T. S.

3.
Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!
J. K. Rowling

4.
Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason.
Camus, Albert

5.
Music makes one feel so romantic - at least it always gets on one's nerves - which is the same thing nowadays.
Oscar Wilde

6.
I think everyone should have a Beatles phase in their life. I think it's part of growing up in the Western world.
Jadelr and Cristina Cordova

7.
Music is the effort we make to explain to ourselves how our brains work. We listen to Bach transfixed because this is listening to a human mind.
Thomas, Lewis

8.
You're talking to someone who really understands rock music.
Gore, Tipper

9.
Music is spiritual. The music business is not.
Morrison, Van

Music is a discipline, and a mistress of order and good manners, she makes the people milder and gentler, more moral and more reasonable.
Martin Luther

11.
Country music is three chords and the truth.
Howard, Harlan

12.
A jazz musician is a juggler who uses harmonies instead of oranges.
Green, Benny

13.
Without music, life would be an error. The German imagines even God singing songs
Nietzsche, Friedrich

14.
Music is a readily available, highly effective tool that you use to improve both your cognitive and physical abilities.
Winter, Arthur

15.
Alas! all music jars when the soul's out of tune.
Cervantes, Miguel De

16.
We are aware that the conductor is not really making the music, it is making him -- if he is relaxed, open and attuned, then the invisible will take possession of him; through him, it will reach us.
Brook, Peter (Stephen Paul)

17.
I like Beethoven, especially the poems.
Starr, Ringo

18.
Music of all the arts has the most influence on the passions and the legislator should give it the greatest encouragement.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

19.
If you develop an ear for sounds that are musical it is like developing an ego. You begin to refuse sounds that are not musical and that way cut yourself off from a good deal of experience.
John Cage

20.
All my concerts had no sounds in them; they were completely silent. People had to make up their own music in their minds!
Yoko Ono

21.
Since music is a language with some meaning at least for the immense majority of mankind, although only a tiny minority of people are capable of formulating a meaning in it, and since it is the only language with the contradictory attributes of being at once intelligible and untranslatable, the musical creator is a being comparable to the gods, and music itself the supreme mystery of the science of man, a mystery that all the various disciplines come up against and which holds the key to their progress.
Levi-Strauss, Claude

22.
Music is the shorthand of emotion.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

23.
Music is a beautiful opiate, if you don't take it too seriously.
Miller, Henry

24.
An intellectual snob is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture and not think of The Lone Ranger.
Dan Rather

25.
There once was a brainy baboon who always breathed down a bassoon for he said, It appears that in billions of years I shall certainly hit on a tune.
Pound, Ezra

26.
After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
Aldous Huxley

27.
It is from the blues that all that may be called American music derives it most distinctive characteristics.
Johnson, James Weldon

28.
I think my fans will follow me into our combined old age. Real musicians and real fans stay together for a long, long time.
Raitt, Bonnie

29.
But then there's a moment like tonight, a profound and transcendent experience, the feeling as if a door has opened, and it's all because of that instrument, that incredible, magical instrument.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider

30.
Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water bath is to the body.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

31.
Opera is when a guy gets stabbed in the back and, instead of bleeding, he sings.
Ed Gardner

32.
I have no pleasure in any man who despises music. It is no invention of ours: it is a gift of God. I place it next to theology. Satan hates music: he knows how it drives the evil spirit out of us.
Luther, Martin

33.
There is something suspicious about music, gentlemen. I insist that she is, by her nature, equivocal. I shall not be going too far in saying at once that she is politically suspect.
Mann, Thomas

34.
If one hears bad music, it is one's duty to drown it by one's conversation.
Wilde, Oscar

35.
Music should never be harmless.
Robertson, Robbie

36.
I hate music, especially when it's played.
Jimmy Durante

37.
Today, music heralds... the establishment of a society of repetition in which nothing will happen anymore.
Attali, Jacques

38.
My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.
Martin Luther

39.
Music causes us to think eloquently.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

40.
The most perfect expression of human behavior is a string quartet.
Tate, Jeffrey

41.
Music when healthy, is the teacher of perfect order, and when depraved, the teacher of perfect disorder.
Ruskin, John

42.
I can sing, and speak to him in many sorts of music.
William Shakespeare

43.
[T]here's no bad day that can't be overcome by listening to a barbershop quartet; this is just truth, plain and simple.
Chuck Sigars

44.
The musical emotion springs precisely from the fact that at each moment the composer withholds or adds more or less than the listener anticipates on the basis of a pattern that he thinks he can guess, but that he is incapable of wholly divining. If the composer withholds more than we anticipate, we experience a delicious falling sensation; we feel we have been torn from a stable point on the musical ladder and thrust into the void. When the composer withholds less, the opposite occurs: he forces us to perform gymnastic exercises more skillful than our own.
Levi-Strauss, Claude

45.
It is better to make a piece of music than to perform one, better to perform one than to listen to one, better to listen to one than to misuse it as a means of distraction, entertainment, or acquisition of culture.
Cage, John

46.
One is hardly sensible of fatigue while he marches to music.
Carlyle, Thomas

47.
I am fond of music I think because it is so amoral. Everything else is moral and I am after something that isn't. I have always found moralizing intolerable.
Hesse, Hermann

48.
I think no woman I have had ever gave me so sweet a moment, or at so light a price, as the moment I owe to a newly heard musical phrase.
Stendhal, Henri B.

49.
Music can name the unnamable and communicate the unknowable.
Duffecy, James

50.
Wagner's music is better than it sounds.
Edgar Wilson Nye
