Music Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Music

1.
Today, music heralds... the establishment of a society of repetition in which nothing will happen anymore.
Attali, Jacques

2.
Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears form the eyes of woman.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van

3.
I like Beethoven, especially the poems.
Starr, Ringo

4.
Their savage eyes turn'd to a modest gaze By the sweet power of music: therefore the poet Did feign that Orpheus drew trees, stones and floods; Since nought so stockish, hard and full of rage, But music for the time doth change his nature. The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils.
William Shakespeare

5.
True music must repeat the thought and inspirations of the people and the time. My people are Americans and my time is today.
Gershwin, George

6.
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

7.
There is no feeling, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in music.
George Eliot

8.
Music was invented to confirm human loneliness.
Durrell, Lawrence

9.
I've always felt rock and roll was very, very wholesome music.
Franklin, Aretha

10.
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

11.
Music is a readily available, highly effective tool that you use to improve both your cognitive and physical abilities.
Winter, Arthur

12.
I can't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland.
Woody Allen

13.
Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue.
Plato

14.
Canned music is like audible wallpaper.
Cooke, Alistair

15.
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

16.
It was called the Backstreet Market, and it was just like a local hangout. That was where the kids would drive their cars, hang out with their convertibles and listen to music. That's how we got Backstreet. We put Boys on it, because no matter how old we get, we'll always be boys.
Richardson, Kevin

17.
There is two kinds of music the good and bad. I play the good kind.
Armstrong, Louis

18.
You're talking to someone who really understands rock music.
Gore, Tipper

19.
Great music is that which penetrates the ear with facility and leaves the memory with difficulty. Magical music never leaves the memory.
Beecham, Sir Thomas

20.
My music is best understood by children and animals.
Igor Stravinsky

21.
Modern music is as dangerous as narcotics.
Mascagni, Pietro

22.
If a thing isn't worth saying, you sing it.
Pierre Beaumarchais

23.
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

24.
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

25.
When Mozart was composing at the end of the eighteenth century, the city of Vienna was so quiet that fire alarms could be given verbally, by a shouting watchman mounted on top of St. Stefan's Cathedral. In twentieth-century society, the noise level is such that it keeps knocking our bodies out of tune and out of their natural rhythms. This ever-increasing assault of sound upon our ears, minds, and bodies adds to the stress load of civilized beings trying to live in a highly complex environment.
Halpern, Steven

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

27.
The way to write American music is simple. All you have to do is be an American and then write any kind of music you wish.
Virgil Thomson

28.
Americans want grungy people, stabbing themselves in the head on stage. They get a bright bunch like us, with deodorant on, they don't get it.
Gallagher, Liam

29.
Perhaps all music, even the newest, is not so much something discovered as something that re-emerges from where it lay buried in the memory, inaudible as a melody cut in a disc of flesh. A composer lets me hear a song that has always been shut up silent within me.
Genet, Jean

30.
Don't play what's there, play what's not there.
Davis, Miles

31.
Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence.
Robert Fripp

32.
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

33.
The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races. The economics of this musical Esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud.
Steiner, George

34.
A song will outlive all sermons in the memory.
Giles, Henry

35.
If we were all determined to play the first violin we should never have an ensemble. Therefore, respect every musician in his proper place.
Schumann, Robert

36.
Hell is full of musical amateurs: music is the brandy of the damned.
George Bernard Shaw

37.
I resent performing for frisking idiots who don't know anything.
Lennon, John

38.
Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!
J. K. Rowling

39.
A woman's two cents worth is worth two cents in the music business.
Lynn, Loretta

40.
Music, in performance, is a type of sculpture. The air in the performance is sculpted into something.
Zappa, Frank

41.
Music is the only language in which you cannot say a mean or sarcastic thing.
John Erskine

42.
When griping grief the heart doth wound, and doleful dumps the mind opresses, then music, with her silver sound, with speedy help doth lend redress.
William Shakespeare

43.
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

44.
People compose for many reasons: to become immortal; because the pianoforte happens to be open; because they want to become a millionaire; because of the praise of friends; because they have looked into a pair of beautiful eyes; for no reason whatsoever.
Schumann, Robert

45.
There's a basic rule which runs through all kinds of music, kind of an unwritten rule. I don't know what it is. But I've got it.
Wood, Ron

46.
Music is a beautiful opiate, if you don't take it too seriously.
Miller, Henry

47.
To know the cause why music was ordain'd! Was it not to refresh the mind of a man after his studies or his usual pain?
William Shakespeare

48.
Music hath the charm to soothe a savage beast, but I'd try a revolver first.
Billings, Josh

49.
I often thought that if there had been a good rap group around in those days, I might have chosen a career in music instead of politics.
Nixon, Richard M.

50.
You don't need any brains to listen to music.
Pavarotti, Luciano
