Music Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Music

1.
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

2.
She was one of those people who said I don't know anything about music, but I know what I like.
Beerbohm, Sir Max

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

4.
A verbal art like poetry is reflective; it stops to think. Music is immediate, it goes on to become.
Auden, W. H.

5.
It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness and of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature, and everlasting beauty of monotony.
Britten, Benjamin

6.
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

7.
Music when healthy, is the teacher of perfect order, and when depraved, the teacher of perfect disorder.
Ruskin, John

8.
Music is the vernacular of the human soul.
Latham, Geoffrey

9.
Music was invented to confirm human loneliness.
Durrell, Lawrence

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 the key to the female heart.
Seume, Johann G.

12.
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

13.
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

14.
Music and woman I cannot but give way to, whatever my business is.
Pepys, Samuel

15.
Good music is very close to primitive language.
Diderot, Denis

16.
Without music, life would be an error. The German imagines even God singing songs
Nietzsche, Friedrich

17.
Just as certain selections of music will nourish your physical body and your emotional layer, so other musical works will bring greater health to your mind.
Lingerman, Hal A.

18.
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

19.
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

20.
Canned music is like audible wallpaper.
Cooke, Alistair

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

22.
A symphony is a stage play with the parts written for instruments instead of for actors.
Wilson, Colin

23.
Mozart is sweet sunshine.
Dvorak, Antonin

24.
I think everyone should have a Beatles phase in their life. I think it's part of growing up in the Western world.
Jadelr and Cristina Cordova

25.
The notes I handle no better than many pianists. But the pauses between the notes --ah, that is where the art resides.
Schnabel, Artur

26.
A song will outlive all sermons in the memory.
Giles, Henry

27.
Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van

28.
My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.
Martin Luther

29.
The opera is to music what a bawdy house is to a cathedral.
Mencken, H. L.

30.
It is from the blues that all that may be called American music derives it most distinctive characteristics.
Johnson, James Weldon

31.
Composers shouldn't think too much -- it interferes with their plagiarism.
Dietz, Howard

32.
Music is essentially useless, as life is: but both have an ideal extension which lends utility to its conditions.
George Santayana

33.
The author's conviction on this day of New Year is that music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance; that poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music; but this must not be taken as implying that all good music is dance music or all poetry lyric. Bach and Mozart are never too far from physical movement.
Pound, Ezra

34.
The history of a people is found in its songs.
Jellinek, George

35.
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

36.
[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

37.
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

38.
I hate music, especially when it's played.
Jimmy Durante

39.
Music is the shorthand of emotion.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

40.
Music is the fourth great material want, first food, then clothes, then shelter, then music.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

41.
Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.
G. K. Chesterton

42.
Jazz came to America three hundred years ago in chains.
Whiteman, Paul

43.
All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.
Cocteau, Jean

44.
There is two kinds of music the good and bad. I play the good kind.
Armstrong, Louis

45.
In sweet music is such art: killing care and grief of heart fall asleep, or hearing, die.
William Shakespeare

46.
Alas! all music jars when the soul's out of tune.
Cervantes, Miguel De

47.
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

48.
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

49.
After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
Huxley, Aldous

50.
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
