Music Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Music

1.
The high note is not the only thing.
Domingo, Placido

2.
I've outdone anyone you can name -- Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss. Irving Berlin, he wrote 1,001 tunes. I wrote 5,500.
Brown, James

3.
Don't play what's there, play what's not there.
Davis, Miles

4.
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

5.
Alas! all music jars when the soul's out of tune.
Cervantes, Miguel De

6.
Jazz will endure just as long people hear it through their feet instead of their brains.
Sousa, John Philip

7.
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

8.
It is from the blues that all that may be called American music derives it most distinctive characteristics.
Johnson, James Weldon

9.
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

10.
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

11.
I like Beethoven, especially the poems.
Starr, Ringo

12.
Music should never be harmless.
Robertson, Robbie

13.
Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van

14.
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

15.
I resent performing for frisking idiots who don't know anything.
Lennon, John

16.
If anyone has conducted a Beethoven performance, and then doesn't have to go to an osteopath, then there's something wrong.
Rattle, Simon

17.
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

18.
I'm not going to be joining ZZ Top. You know they can't play my stuff. It's too complicated.
Brown, James

19.
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.

20.
Music causes us to think eloquently.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

21.
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

22.
A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don't think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time.
Carey, Mariah

23.
A musicologist is a man who can read music but cannot hear it.
Beecham, Sir Thomas

24.
Music, the greatest good that mortals know, And all of heaven we have below.
Addison, Joseph

25.
I hate music, especially when it's played.
Jimmy Durante

26.
Music is spiritual. The music business is not.
Morrison, Van

27.
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

28.
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

29.
Sounds like the blues are composed of feeling, finesse, and fear.
Gibbons, Billy

30.
There are two golden rules for an orchestra: start together and finish together. The public doesn't give a damn what goes on in between.
Beecham, Sir Thomas

31.
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

32.
Hell is full of musical amateurs: music is the brandy of the damned.
George Bernard Shaw

33.
I can't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland.
Woody Allen

34.
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

35.
Music, moody food of us that trade in love.
William Shakespeare

36.
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

37.
Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water bath is to the body.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

38.
The most perfect expression of human behavior is a string quartet.
Tate, Jeffrey

39.
Music is good to the melancholy, bad to those who mourn, and neither good or bad to the deaf.
Spinoza, Baruch (Benedict de)

40.
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

41.
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

42.
Hell is full of musical amateurs.
George Bernard Shaw

43.
Music is the fourth great material want, first food, then clothes, then shelter, then music.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

44.
The pleasure we feel in music springs from the obedience which is in it.
Thoreau, Henry David

45.
Rock 'n Roll is monotony tinged with hysteria.
Packard, Vance

46.
Music when healthy, is the teacher of perfect order, and when depraved, the teacher of perfect disorder.
Ruskin, John

47.
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

48.
Music is the vernacular of the human soul.
Latham, Geoffrey

49.
I was a veteran before I was a teenager.
Jackson, Michael

50.
Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue.
Plato
