Music Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Music

1.
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

2.
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

3.
If one hears bad music, it is one's duty to drown it by one's conversation.
Wilde, Oscar

4.
Music was invented to confirm human loneliness.
Durrell, Lawrence

5.
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

6.
There's a basic rule which runs through all kinds of music, kind of an unwritten rule. I don't know what it is. But I've got it.
Wood, Ron

7.
I've outdone anyone you can name -- Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss. Irving Berlin, he wrote 1,001 tunes. I wrote 5,500.
Brown, James

8.
Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue.
Plato

9.
You're talking to someone who really understands rock music.
Gore, Tipper

10.
The effects of good music are not just because it's new; on the contrary music strikes us more the more familiar we are with it.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

11.
Jazz will endure just as long people hear it through their feet instead of their brains.
Sousa, John Philip

12.
I resent performing for frisking idiots who don't know anything.
Lennon, John

13.
Music is the key to the female heart.
Seume, Johann G.

14.
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

15.
Music, moody food of us that trade in love.
William Shakespeare

16.
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

17.
Music is the vernacular of the human soul.
Latham, Geoffrey

18.
Good music is very close to primitive language.
Diderot, Denis

19.
I know only two tunes. One them is Yankee Doodle and the other isn't.
Grant, Ulysses S.

20.
Today, music heralds... the establishment of a society of repetition in which nothing will happen anymore.
Attali, Jacques

21.
Song is the heroics of speech.
Carlyle, Thomas

22.
Without music, life is a journey through a desert.
Conroy, Pat

23.
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

24.
Wagner's music is better than it sounds.
Edgar Wilson Nye

25.
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

26.
Difficult do you call it, Sir? I wish it were impossible.
Johnson, Samuel

27.
Next to theology I give music the highest place of honor.
Luther, Martin

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.
People whose sensibility is destroyed by music in trains, airports, lifts, cannot concentrate on a Beethoven Quartet.
Lutoslawski, Witold

30.
Without Elvis, none of us could have made it.
Holly, Buddy

31.
Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.
G. K. Chesterton

32.
Canned music is like audible wallpaper.
Cooke, Alistair

33.
Berlioz says nothing in his music, but he says it magnificently.
Huneker, James G.

34.
After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
Huxley, Aldous

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.
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

37.
Without music, life would be an error. The German imagines even God singing songs
Nietzsche, Friedrich

38.
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

39.
Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears form the eyes of woman.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van

40.
Rock 'n Roll is monotony tinged with hysteria.
Packard, Vance

41.
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

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

43.
A jazz musician is a juggler who uses harmonies instead of oranges.
Green, Benny

44.
I was a veteran before I was a teenager.
Jackson, Michael

45.
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

46.
Music is the fourth great material want, first food, then clothes, then shelter, then music.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

47.
A good composer does not imitate; he steals.
Stravinsky, Igor

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

50.
Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van
