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



Best Quotes about Music

1.
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

2.
Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue.
Plato

3.
If we were all determined to play the first violin we should never have an ensemble. Therefore, respect every musician in his proper place.
Schumann, Robert

4.
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

5.
Difficult do you call it, Sir? I wish it were impossible.
Johnson, Samuel

6.
Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.
G. K. Chesterton

7.
You don't need any brains to listen to music.
Pavarotti, Luciano

8.
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

9.
Medicine to produce health must examine disease; and music, to create harmony must investigate discord.
Plutarch

10.
We fight our way through the massed and leveled collective safe taste of the Top 40, just looking for a little something we can call our own. But when we find it and jam the radio to hear it again it isn't just ours -- it is a link to thousands of others who are sharing it with us. As a matter of a single song this might mean very little; as culture, as a way of life, you can't beat it.
Marcus, Greil

11.
Music was invented to confirm human loneliness.
Durrell, Lawrence

12.
The English may not like music, but they absolutely love the noise it makes.
Beecham, Sir Thomas

13.
My music is best understood by children and animals.
Igor Stravinsky

14.
The most perfect expression of human behavior is a string quartet.
Tate, Jeffrey

15.
Music can name the unnamable and communicate the unknowable.
Duffecy, James

16.
Words are poor interpreters in the realms of emotion. When all words end, music begins; when they suggest, it realizes; and hence is the secret of its strange, inexpressible power.
Haweis, H. R.

17.
Hell is full of musical amateurs.
George Bernard Shaw

18.
Music, in performance, is a type of sculpture. The air in the performance is sculpted into something.
Zappa, Frank

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

21.
In sweet music is such art: killing care and grief of heart fall asleep, or hearing, die.
William Shakespeare

22.
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

23.
Jazz will endure just as long people hear it through their feet instead of their brains.
Sousa, John Philip

24.
Hell is full of musical amateurs: music is the brandy of the damned.
George Bernard Shaw

25.
I'm not going to be joining ZZ Top. You know they can't play my stuff. It's too complicated.
Brown, James

26.
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

27.
Alas! all music jars when the soul's out of tune.
Cervantes, Miguel De

28.
A musicologist is a man who can read music but can't hear it.
Sir Thomas Beecham

29.
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

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

31.
Music when healthy, is the teacher of perfect order, and when depraved, the teacher of perfect disorder.
Ruskin, John

32.
A woman's two cents worth is worth two cents in the music business.
Lynn, Loretta

33.
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

34.
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)

35.
Give me a laundry list and I'll set it to music.
Rossini, Gioacchino Antonio

36.
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

37.
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

38.
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

39.
Composers shouldn't think too much -- it interferes with their plagiarism.
Dietz, Howard

40.
The history of a people is found in its songs.
Jellinek, George

41.
Music is the only language in which you cannot say a mean or sarcastic thing.
John Erskine

42.
After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
Aldous Huxley

43.
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

44.
Music expresses that which can not be said and on which it is impossible to be silent
Hugo, Victor

45.
Country music is three chords and the truth.
Howard, Harlan

46.
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

47.
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

48.
Music is only love looking for words.
Durrell, Lawrence

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