Motivational Quotes
Music
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.
Best Quotes about Music
Hell is full of musical amateurs.
George Bernard Shaw
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
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
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.
You don't need any brains to listen to music.
Pavarotti, Luciano
Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence.
Robert Fripp
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
A verbal art like poetry is reflective; it stops to think. Music is immediate, it goes on to become.
Auden, W. H.
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
Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.
G. K. Chesterton
Modern music is as dangerous as narcotics.
Mascagni, Pietro
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
Music makes one feel so romantic - at least it always gets on one's nerves - which is the same thing nowadays.
Oscar Wilde
Music can name the unnamable and communicate the unknowable.
Duffecy, James
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
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.
Hell is full of musical amateurs: music is the brandy of the damned.
George Bernard Shaw
It is from the blues that all that may be called American music derives it most distinctive characteristics.
Johnson, James Weldon
A musicologist is a man who can read music but cannot hear it.
Beecham, Sir Thomas
Mozart is sweet sunshine.
Dvorak, Antonin
Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!
J. K. Rowling
Without Elvis, none of us could have made it.
Holly, Buddy
There is two kinds of music the good and bad. I play the good kind.
Armstrong, Louis
Alas! all music jars when the soul's out of tune.
Cervantes, Miguel De
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
You're talking to someone who really understands rock music.
Gore, Tipper
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
If music be the food of love, play on; Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die. That strain again! it had a dying fall: O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound That breathes upon a bank of violets, Stealing and giving odour!
William Shakespeare
If a thing isn't worth saying, you sing it.
Pierre Beaumarchais
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
I know only two tunes. One them is Yankee Doodle and the other isn't.
Grant, Ulysses S.
If you can walk you can dance. If you can talk you can sing.
Proverb, Zimbabwe
For the introduction of a new kind of music must be shunned as imperiling the whole state; since styles of music are never disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions.
Plato
Medicine to produce health must examine disease; and music, to create harmony must investigate discord.
Plutarch
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
The pleasure we feel in music springs from the obedience which is in it.
Thoreau, Henry David
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
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
I've always felt rock and roll was very, very wholesome music.
Franklin, Aretha
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
Difficult do you call it, Sir? I wish it were impossible.
Johnson, Samuel
Without music, life is a journey through a desert.
Conroy, Pat
If you look deep enough you will see music; the heart of nature being everywhere music.
Carlyle, Thomas
Among all men on the earth bards have a share of honor and reverence, because the muse has taught them songs and loves the race of bards.
Homer
I like Beethoven, especially the poems.
Starr, Ringo
Sounds like the blues are composed of feeling, finesse, and fear.
Gibbons, Billy
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
She was one of those people who said I don't know anything about music, but I know what I like.
Beerbohm, Sir Max
My music is best understood by children and animals.
Igor Stravinsky
I've outdone anyone you can name -- Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss. Irving Berlin, he wrote 1,001 tunes. I wrote 5,500.
Brown, James
