Music

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
Music Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Music

1.
Music is the only language in which you cannot say a mean or sarcastic thing.
John Erskine

2.
Music, the greatest good that mortals know, And all of heaven we have below.
Addison, Joseph

3.
I would advise you to keep your overhead down; avoid a major drug habit; play everyday, and take it in front of other people. They need to hear it, and you need them to hear it.
Taylor, James

4.
Music is essentially useless, as life is: but both have an ideal extension which lends utility to its conditions.
George Santayana

5.
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

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

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

8.
Sounds like the blues are composed of feeling, finesse, and fear.
Gibbons, Billy

9.
Of course the music is a great difficulty. You see, if one plays good music, people don't listen, and if one plays bad music people don't talk.
Wilde, Oscar

10.
I'm not going to be joining ZZ Top. You know they can't play my stuff. It's too complicated.
Brown, James

11.
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

12.
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

13.
Music is good to the melancholy, bad to those who mourn, and neither good or bad to the deaf.
Spinoza, Baruch (Benedict de)

14.
She was one of those people who said I don't know anything about music, but I know what I like.
Beerbohm, Sir Max

15.
I've always felt rock and roll was very, very wholesome music.
Franklin, Aretha

16.
Give me a laundry list and I'll set it to music.
Rossini, Gioacchino Antonio

17.
The way to write American music is simple. All you have to do is be an American and then write any kind of music you wish.
Virgil Thomson

18.
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.

19.
Music, moody food of us that trade in love.
William Shakespeare

20.
The whole problem can be stated quite simply by asking,'Is there a meaning to music?'My answer would be,'Yes.'And'Can you state in so many words what the meaning is?'My answer to that would be,'No.'
Aaron Copland

21.
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

22.
Music was invented to confirm human loneliness.
Durrell, Lawrence

23.
I like Beethoven, especially the poems.
Starr, Ringo

24.
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

25.
Hell is full of musical amateurs.
George Bernard Shaw

26.
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

27.
The history of a people is found in its songs.
Jellinek, George

28.
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

29.
A song will outlive all sermons in the memory.
Giles, Henry

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

31.
Music is the key to the female heart.
Seume, Johann G.

32.
A musicologist is a man who can read music but can't hear it.
Sir Thomas Beecham

33.
A woman's two cents worth is worth two cents in the music business.
Lynn, Loretta

34.
Next to theology I give music the highest place of honor.
Luther, Martin

35.
Music and woman I cannot but give way to, whatever my business is.
Pepys, Samuel

36.
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

37.
There is two kinds of music the good and bad. I play the good kind.
Armstrong, Louis

38.
Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.
Keats, John

39.
Today, music heralds... the establishment of a society of repetition in which nothing will happen anymore.
Attali, Jacques

40.
If music be the food of love, play on; give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, the appetite may sicken, and so die.
William Shakespeare

41.
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

42.
We are aware that the conductor is not really making the music, it is making him -- if he is relaxed, open and attuned, then the invisible will take possession of him; through him, it will reach us.
Brook, Peter (Stephen Paul)

43.
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

44.
If you can walk you can dance. If you can talk you can sing.
Proverb, Zimbabwe

45.
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

46.
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

47.
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

48.
If anyone has conducted a Beethoven performance, and then doesn't have to go to an osteopath, then there's something wrong.
Rattle, Simon

49.
I've outdone anyone you can name -- Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss. Irving Berlin, he wrote 1,001 tunes. I wrote 5,500.
Brown, James

50.
Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.
G. K. Chesterton
