Music

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
Music Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Music

1.
I've outdone anyone you can name -- Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss. Irving Berlin, he wrote 1,001 tunes. I wrote 5,500.
Brown, James

2.
Berlioz says nothing in his music, but he says it magnificently.
Huneker, James G.

3.
I wish Frank Sinatra would just shut up and sing.
Bacall, Lauren

4.
Music and dancing (the more the pity) have become so closely associated with ideas of riot and debauchery among the less cultivated classes, that a taste for them, for their own sakes, can hardly be said to exist, and before they can be recommended as innocent or safe amusements, a very great change of ideas must take place.
Herschel, Sir John

5.
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

6.
You are the music while the music lasts.
Eliot, T. S.

7.
Hell is full of musical amateurs: music is the brandy of the damned.
George Bernard Shaw

8.
Good music is very close to primitive language.
Diderot, Denis

9.
They said, You have a blue guitar, you do not play things as they are. The man replied, Things as they are changed upon a blue guitar.
Stevens, Wallace

10.
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

11.
I was a veteran before I was a teenager.
Jackson, Michael

12.
In sweet music is such art: killing care and grief of heart fall asleep, or hearing, die.
William Shakespeare

13.
Music is the only language in which you cannot say a mean or sarcastic thing.
John Erskine

14.
Classical music is the kind we keep thinking will turn into a tune.
Kin Hubbard

15.
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

16.
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

17.
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

18.
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)

19.
If you can walk you can dance. If you can talk you can sing.
Proverb, Zimbabwe

20.
An intellectual snob is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture and not think of The Lone Ranger.
Dan Rather

21.
A musicologist is a man who can read music but cannot hear it.
Beecham, Sir Thomas

22.
Like everything else in nature, music is a becoming, and it becomes its full self, when its sounds and laws are used by intelligent man for the production of harmony, and so made the vehicle of emotion and thought.
Mungers, Theodore

23.
A good composer does not imitate; he steals.
Stravinsky, Igor

24.
Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!
J. K. Rowling

25.
You don't need any brains to listen to music.
Pavarotti, Luciano

26.
All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.
Cocteau, Jean

27.
[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

28.
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

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

30.
Music, in performance, is a type of sculpture. The air in the performance is sculpted into something.
Zappa, Frank

31.
Give me a laundry list and I'll set it to music.
Rossini, Gioacchino Antonio

32.
The pleasure we feel in music springs from the obedience which is in it.
Thoreau, Henry David

Music is the fourth great material want, first food, then clothes, then shelter, then music.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

34.
My music is best understood by children and animals.
Igor Stravinsky

35.
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

36.
Difficult do you call it, Sir? I wish it were impossible.
Johnson, Samuel

37.
The effects of good music are not just because it's new; on the contrary music strikes us more the more familiar we are with it.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

38.
Alas! all music jars when the soul's out of tune.
Cervantes, Miguel De

39.
There is no feeling, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in music.
George Eliot

40.
Music is essentially useless, as life is: but both have an ideal extension which lends utility to its conditions.
George Santayana

41.
I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music.
Joel, Billy

42.
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.
