Music Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Music

1.
There is no feeling, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in music.
George Eliot

2.
I wish Frank Sinatra would just shut up and sing.
Bacall, Lauren

3.
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

4.
Music is good to the melancholy, bad to those who mourn, and neither good or bad to the deaf.
Spinoza, Baruch (Benedict de)

5.
A jazz musician is a juggler who uses harmonies instead of oranges.
Green, Benny

6.
I've outdone anyone you can name -- Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss. Irving Berlin, he wrote 1,001 tunes. I wrote 5,500.
Brown, James

7.
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

8.
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

9.
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

10.
Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears form the eyes of woman.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van

11.
The most perfect expression of human behavior is a string quartet.
Tate, Jeffrey

12.
Music is well said to be the speech of angels; in fact, nothing among the utterances allowed to man is felt to be so divine. It brings us near to the infinite.
Carlyle, Thomas

13.
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

14.
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.

15.
A song will outlive all sermons in the memory.
Giles, Henry

16.
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

17.
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

18.
Wagner's music is better than it sounds.
Edgar Wilson Nye

19.
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

20.
Country music is three chords and the truth.
Howard, Harlan

21.
A symphony is a stage play with the parts written for instruments instead of for actors.
Wilson, Colin

22.
If you can walk you can dance. If you can talk you can sing.
Proverb, Zimbabwe

23.
We fight our way through the massed and leveled collective safe taste of the Top 40, just looking for a little something we can call our own. But when we find it and jam the radio to hear it again it isn't just ours -- it is a link to thousands of others who are sharing it with us. As a matter of a single song this might mean very little; as culture, as a way of life, you can't beat it.
Marcus, Greil

24.
Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.
G. K. Chesterton

25.
Music is a beautiful opiate, if you don't take it too seriously.
Miller, Henry

26.
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

27.
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

28.
The manner in which Americans consume music has a lot to do with leaving it on their coffee tables, or using it as wallpaper for their lifestyles, like the score of a movie --it's consumed that way without any regard for how and why it's made.
Zappa, Frank

29.
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

30.
Canned music is like audible wallpaper.
Cooke, Alistair

31.
Music expresses that which can not be said and on which it is impossible to be silent
Hugo, Victor

32.
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

33.
Hell is full of musical amateurs.
George Bernard Shaw

34.
Give me a laundry list and I'll set it to music.
Rossini, Gioacchino Antonio

35.
Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence.
Robert Fripp

36.
You're talking to someone who really understands rock music.
Gore, Tipper

37.
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

38.
The English may not like music, but they absolutely love the noise it makes.
Beecham, Sir Thomas

39.
Without Elvis, none of us could have made it.
Holly, Buddy

40.
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

41.
Music, the greatest good that mortals know, And all of heaven we have below.
Addison, Joseph

42.
Jazz will endure just as long people hear it through their feet instead of their brains.
Sousa, John Philip

43.
Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van

44.
Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!
J. K. Rowling

45.
Music is essentially useless, as life is: but both have an ideal extension which lends utility to its conditions.
George Santayana

46.
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

47.
Classical music is the kind we keep thinking will turn into a tune.
Kin Hubbard

48.
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

49.
Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.
Keats, John

50.
If anyone has conducted a Beethoven performance, and then doesn't have to go to an osteopath, then there's something wrong.
Rattle, Simon
