Music Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Music

1.
I like Beethoven, especially the poems.
Starr, Ringo

2.
The whole problem can be stated quite simply by asking,'Is there a meaning to music?'My answer would be,'Yes.'And'Can you state in so many words what the meaning is?'My answer to that would be,'No.'
Aaron Copland

3.
It is the only sensual pleasure without vice.
Johnson, Samuel

4.
Music and woman I cannot but give way to, whatever my business is.
Pepys, Samuel

5.
Brass bands are all very well in their place - outdoors and several miles away.
Sir Thomas Beecham

6.
A musicologist is a man who can read music but cannot hear it.
Beecham, Sir Thomas

7.
I can't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland.
Woody Allen

8.
A good composer is slowly discovered a bad composer is slowly found out.
Newman, Ernest

9.
Of course the music is a great difficulty. You see, if one plays good music, people don't listen, and if one plays bad music people don't talk.
Wilde, Oscar

10.
Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van

11.
I hate music, especially when it's played.
Jimmy Durante

12.
Medicine to produce health must examine disease; and music, to create harmony must investigate discord.
Plutarch

13.
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

14.
A jazz musician is a juggler who uses harmonies instead of oranges.
Green, Benny

15.
Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.
Cosby, Bill

16.
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

17.
Music like religion, unconditionally brings in its train all the moral virtues to the heart it enters, even though that heart is not in the least worthy.
Jean Baptiste Montegut

18.
A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don't think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time.
Carey, Mariah

19.
Jazz will endure just as long people hear it through their feet instead of their brains.
Sousa, John Philip

20.
Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence.
Robert Fripp

21.
You don't need any brains to listen to music.
Pavarotti, Luciano

22.
Difficult do you call it, Sir? I wish it were impossible.
Johnson, Samuel

23.
Wagner's music is better than it sounds.
Edgar Wilson Nye

24.
Music is a readily available, highly effective tool that you use to improve both your cognitive and physical abilities.
Winter, Arthur

25.
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

26.
He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.
Einstein, Albert

27.
Music is a beautiful opiate, if you don't take it too seriously.
Miller, Henry

28.
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

29.
Musical people are so absurdly unreasonable. They always want one to be perfectly dumb at the very moment when one is longing to be absolutely deaf.
Wilde, Oscar

30.
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

31.
We all drew on the comfort which is given out by the major works of Mozart, which is as real and material as the warmth given up by a glass of brandy.
West, Rebecca

32.
A symphony is a stage play with the parts written for instruments instead of for actors.
Wilson, Colin

33.
Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.
G. K. Chesterton

34.
If music be the food of love, play on; give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, the appetite may sicken, and so die.
William Shakespeare

35.
Rock 'n Roll is monotony tinged with hysteria.
Packard, Vance

36.
I was a veteran before I was a teenager.
Jackson, Michael

37.
Words are poor interpreters in the realms of emotion. When all words end, music begins; when they suggest, it realizes; and hence is the secret of its strange, inexpressible power.
Haweis, H. R.

38.
It is from the blues that all that may be called American music derives it most distinctive characteristics.
Johnson, James Weldon

39.
I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.
George Eliot

40.
The notes I handle no better than many pianists. But the pauses between the notes --ah, that is where the art resides.
Schnabel, Artur

41.
I don't mind what language an opera is sung in so long as it is a language I don't understand.
Sir Edward Appleton

42.
The high note is not the only thing.
Domingo, Placido

43.
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

44.
The trouble with music appreciation in general is that people are taught to have too much respect for music; they should be taught to love it instead.
Stravinsky, Igor

45.
After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
Huxley, Aldous

46.
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

47.
It's a marvelous feeling when someone says I want to do this song of yours because they've connected to it. That's what I'm after.
Carpenter, Mary Chapin

48.
If one hears bad music, it is one's duty to drown it by one's conversation.
Wilde, Oscar

49.
If anyone has conducted a Beethoven performance, and then doesn't have to go to an osteopath, then there's something wrong.
Rattle, Simon

50.
I would advise you to keep your overhead down; avoid a major drug habit; play everyday, and take it in front of other people. They need to hear it, and you need them to hear it.
Taylor, James
