Motivational Quotes
Music
If we were all determined to play the first violin we should never have an ensemble. Therefore, respect every musician in his proper place.
Best Quotes about Music
I've outdone anyone you can name -- Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss. Irving Berlin, he wrote 1,001 tunes. I wrote 5,500.
Brown, James
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.
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
I resent performing for frisking idiots who don't know anything.
Lennon, John
Music makes one feel so romantic - at least it always gets on one's nerves - which is the same thing nowadays.
Oscar Wilde
I can sing, and speak to him in many sorts of music.
William Shakespeare
Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears form the eyes of woman.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van
Music is the only language in which you cannot say a mean or sarcastic thing.
John Erskine
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
Give me a laundry list and I'll set it to music.
Rossini, Gioacchino Antonio
Music is a beautiful opiate, if you don't take it too seriously.
Miller, Henry
Music is spiritual. The music business is not.
Morrison, Van
The English may not like music, but they absolutely love the noise it makes.
Beecham, Sir Thomas
The pleasure we feel in music springs from the obedience which is in it.
Thoreau, Henry David
People whose sensibility is destroyed by music in trains, airports, lifts, cannot concentrate on a Beethoven Quartet.
Lutoslawski, Witold
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
Music is the effort we make to explain to ourselves how our brains work. We listen to Bach transfixed because this is listening to a human mind.
Thomas, Lewis
A song will outlive all sermons in the memory.
Giles, Henry
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
There is no feeling, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in music.
George Eliot
One is hardly sensible of fatigue while he marches to music.
Carlyle, Thomas
Music is the shorthand of emotion.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.
Keats, John
Difficult do you call it, Sir? I wish it were impossible.
Johnson, Samuel
A musicologist is a man who can read music but cannot hear it.
Beecham, Sir Thomas
If we were all determined to play the first violin we should never have an ensemble. Therefore, respect every musician in his proper place.
Schumann, Robert
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
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
Berlioz says nothing in his music, but he says it magnificently.
Huneker, James G.
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
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
[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
I hate music, especially when it's played.
Jimmy Durante
To know the cause why music was ordain'd! Was it not to refresh the mind of a man after his studies or his usual pain?
William Shakespeare
Music, moody food of us that trade in love.
William Shakespeare
Country music is three chords and the truth.
Howard, Harlan
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
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
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
You're talking to someone who really understands rock music.
Gore, Tipper
Song is the heroics of speech.
Carlyle, Thomas
Music is essentially useless, as life is: but both have an ideal extension which lends utility to its conditions.
George Santayana
She was one of those people who said I don't know anything about music, but I know what I like.
Beerbohm, Sir Max
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.
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
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
Music hath the charm to soothe a savage beast, but I'd try a revolver first.
Billings, Josh
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
A good composer is slowly discovered a bad composer is slowly found out.
Newman, Ernest
Next to theology I give music the highest place of honor.
Luther, Martin
