Best Quotes about Music
Wagner's music is better than it sounds.
Edgar Wilson Nye
A woman's two cents worth is worth two cents in the music business.
Lynn, Loretta
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
My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.
Martin Luther
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
Rock 'n Roll is monotony tinged with hysteria.
Packard, Vance
Rock 'n Roll is an asylum for emotional idiots.
Neville, Richard
You are the music while the music lasts.
Eliot, T. S.
Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van
Music is well said to be the speech of angels; in fact, nothing among the utterances allowed to man is felt to be so divine. It brings us near to the infinite.
Carlyle, Thomas
If a thing isn't worth saying, you sing it.
Pierre Beaumarchais
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
Music is a beautiful opiate, if you don't take it too seriously.
Miller, Henry
A musicologist is a man who can read music but can't hear it.
Sir Thomas Beecham
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
The musical emotion springs precisely from the fact that at each moment the composer withholds or adds more or less than the listener anticipates on the basis of a pattern that he thinks he can guess, but that he is incapable of wholly divining. If the composer withholds more than we anticipate, we experience a delicious falling sensation; we feel we have been torn from a stable point on the musical ladder and thrust into the void. When the composer withholds less, the opposite occurs: he forces us to perform gymnastic exercises more skillful than our own.
Levi-Strauss, Claude
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
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
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
I resent performing for frisking idiots who don't know anything.
Lennon, John
If music be the food of love, play on; Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die. That strain again! it had a dying fall: O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound That breathes upon a bank of violets, Stealing and giving odour!
William Shakespeare
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
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
Music is the shorthand of emotion.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
Today, music heralds... the establishment of a society of repetition in which nothing will happen anymore.
Attali, Jacques
A good composer is slowly discovered a bad composer is slowly found out.
Newman, Ernest
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
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 like Beethoven, especially the poems.
Starr, Ringo
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
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 is the fourth great material want, first food, then clothes, then shelter, then music.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
You're talking to someone who really understands rock music.
Gore, Tipper
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.
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
Music, in performance, is a type of sculpture. The air in the performance is sculpted into something.
Zappa, Frank
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
The most perfect expression of human behavior is a string quartet.
Tate, Jeffrey
Music should never be harmless.
Robertson, Robbie
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
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
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
Music makes one feel so romantic - at least it always gets on one's nerves - which is the same thing nowadays.
Oscar Wilde
Conductors must give unmistakable and suggestive signals to the orchestra, not choreography to the audience.
Szell, George
A musicologist is a man who can read music but cannot hear it.
Beecham, Sir Thomas
Without Elvis, none of us could have made it.
Holly, Buddy
Mozart is sweet sunshine.
Dvorak, Antonin
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
I know only two tunes. One them is Yankee Doodle and the other isn't.
Grant, Ulysses S.
If you can walk you can dance. If you can talk you can sing.
Proverb, Zimbabwe
