Music

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
Music Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Music

1.
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

2.
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

3.
Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van

4.
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

5.
You're talking to someone who really understands rock music.
Gore, Tipper

6.
Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue.
Plato

7.
Brass bands are all very well in their place - outdoors and several miles away.
Sir Thomas Beecham

8.
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

9.
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

10.
A jazz musician is a juggler who uses harmonies instead of oranges.
Green, Benny

11.
Extraordinary how potent cheap music is.
Coward, Noel

12.
Music causes us to think eloquently.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

13.
If a thing isn't worth saying, you sing it.
Pierre Beaumarchais

14.
Music is only love looking for words.
Durrell, Lawrence

15.
The high note is not the only thing.
Domingo, Placido

16.
My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.
Martin Luther

17.
My music is best understood by children and animals.
Igor Stravinsky

18.
Sounds like the blues are composed of feeling, finesse, and fear.
Gibbons, Billy

19.
The manner in which Americans consume music has a lot to do with leaving it on their coffee tables, or using it as wallpaper for their lifestyles, like the score of a movie --it's consumed that way without any regard for how and why it's made.
Zappa, Frank

20.
Music is the fourth great material want, first food, then clothes, then shelter, then music.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

21.
Among all men on the earth bards have a share of honor and reverence, because the muse has taught them songs and loves the race of bards.
Homer

22.
I like Beethoven, especially the poems.
Starr, Ringo

23.
Hell is full of musical amateurs.
George Bernard Shaw

24.
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

25.
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

26.
Music should never be harmless.
Robertson, Robbie

27.
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

28.
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

29.
There is no feeling, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in music.
George Eliot

30.
In sweet music is such art: killing care and grief of heart fall asleep, or hearing, die.
William Shakespeare

31.
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

32.
People whose sensibility is destroyed by music in trains, airports, lifts, cannot concentrate on a Beethoven Quartet.
Lutoslawski, Witold

33.
She was one of those people who said I don't know anything about music, but I know what I like.
Beerbohm, Sir Max

34.
The history of a people is found in its songs.
Jellinek, George

35.
All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.
Cocteau, Jean

36.
Hell is full of musical amateurs: music is the brandy of the damned.
George Bernard Shaw

37.
A verbal art like poetry is reflective; it stops to think. Music is immediate, it goes on to become.
Auden, W. H.

38.
Music is essentially useless, as life is: but both have an ideal extension which lends utility to its conditions.
George Santayana

39.
Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!
J. K. Rowling

40.
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

41.
Berlioz says nothing in his music, but he says it magnificently.
Huneker, James G.

42.
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

43.
Music, moody food of us that trade in love.
William Shakespeare

44.
Music is spiritual. The music business is not.
Morrison, Van

45.
But then there's a moment like tonight, a profound and transcendent experience, the feeling as if a door has opened, and it's all because of that instrument, that incredible, magical instrument.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider

46.
Country music is three chords and the truth.
Howard, Harlan

47.
Americans want grungy people, stabbing themselves in the head on stage. They get a bright bunch like us, with deodorant on, they don't get it.
Gallagher, Liam

48.
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

49.
Music makes one feel so romantic - at least it always gets on one's nerves - which is the same thing nowadays.
Oscar Wilde

50.
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
