Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence.
- Robert Fripp
Music Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Music

1.
If you develop an ear for sounds that are musical it is like developing an ego. You begin to refuse sounds that are not musical and that way cut yourself off from a good deal of experience.
John Cage

2.
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

3.
It is the stretched soul that makes music, and souls are stretched by the pull of opposites --opposite bents, tastes, yearnings, loyalties. Where there is no polarity --where energies flow smoothly in one direction --there will be much doing but no music.
Hoffer, Eric

4.
A woman's two cents worth is worth two cents in the music business.
Lynn, Loretta

5.
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.

6.
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.

7.
The most perfect expression of human behavior is a string quartet.
Tate, Jeffrey

8.
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

9.
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

10.
Hell is full of musical amateurs: music is the brandy of the damned.
George Bernard Shaw

11.
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

12.
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.
Pound, Ezra

13.
Today, music heralds... the establishment of a society of repetition in which nothing will happen anymore.
Attali, Jacques

14.
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

15.
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

16.
Without music, life is a journey through a desert.
Conroy, Pat

17.
The man that hath no music in himself, nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils. The motions of his spirit are dull as night, and his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be trusted.
Shakespeare, William

18.
Music is a readily available, highly effective tool that you use to improve both your cognitive and physical abilities.
Winter, Arthur

19.
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

20.
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

21.
All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.
Cocteau, Jean

22.
Music, moody food of us that trade in love.
William Shakespeare

23.
I resent performing for frisking idiots who don't know anything.
Lennon, John

24.
If you can walk you can dance. If you can talk you can sing.
Proverb, Zimbabwe

25.
I like Beethoven, especially the poems.
Starr, Ringo

26.
A jazz musician is a juggler who uses harmonies instead of oranges.
Green, Benny

27.
Music is essentially useless, as life is: but both have an ideal extension which lends utility to its conditions.
George Santayana

28.
The opera is to music what a bawdy house is to a cathedral.
Mencken, H. L.

29.
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

30.
It is the only sensual pleasure without vice.
Johnson, Samuel

31.
[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

32.
Rock 'n Roll is monotony tinged with hysteria.
Packard, Vance

33.
Canned music is like audible wallpaper.
Cooke, Alistair

34.
Jazz came to America three hundred years ago in chains.
Whiteman, Paul

35.
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

36.
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

37.
The high note is not the only thing.
Domingo, Placido

38.
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

39.
Conductors must give unmistakable and suggestive signals to the orchestra, not choreography to the audience.
Szell, George

40.
Song is the heroics of speech.
Carlyle, Thomas

41.
Jazz will endure just as long people hear it through their feet instead of their brains.
Sousa, John Philip

42.
Music is only love looking for words.
Durrell, Lawrence

43.
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

44.
You don't need any brains to listen to music.
Pavarotti, Luciano

45.
A musicologist is a man who can read music but can't hear it.
Sir Thomas Beecham

46.
My music is best understood by children and animals.
Igor Stravinsky

47.
I'm not going to be joining ZZ Top. You know they can't play my stuff. It's too complicated.
Brown, James

48.
There is two kinds of music the good and bad. I play the good kind.
Armstrong, Louis

49.
Country music is three chords and the truth.
Howard, Harlan

50.
Music of all the arts has the most influence on the passions and the legislator should give it the greatest encouragement.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
