Best Quotes about Music
After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
Aldous Huxley
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
Music expresses that which can not be said and on which it is impossible to be silent
Hugo, Victor
Jazz will endure just as long people hear it through their feet instead of their brains.
Sousa, John Philip
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
Classical music is the kind we keep thinking will turn into a tune.
Kin Hubbard
A woman's two cents worth is worth two cents in the music business.
Lynn, Loretta
Medicine to produce health must examine disease; and music, to create harmony must investigate discord.
Plutarch
Hearing often-times the still, sad music of humanity, nor harsh nor grating, though of ample power to chasten and subdue.
Wordsworth, William
I know only two tunes. One them is Yankee Doodle and the other isn't.
Grant, Ulysses S.
Hell is full of musical amateurs: music is the brandy of the damned.
George Bernard Shaw
Country music is three chords and the truth.
Howard, Harlan
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
Song is the heroics of speech.
Carlyle, Thomas
Difficult do you call it, Sir? I wish it were impossible.
Johnson, Samuel
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
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
A verbal art like poetry is reflective; it stops to think. Music is immediate, it goes on to become.
Auden, W. H.
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.
Modern music is as dangerous as narcotics.
Mascagni, Pietro
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
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)
There is two kinds of music the good and bad. I play the good kind.
Armstrong, Louis
Music is good to the melancholy, bad to those who mourn, and neither good or bad to the deaf.
Spinoza, Baruch (Benedict de)
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
I resent performing for frisking idiots who don't know anything.
Lennon, John
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
People whose sensibility is destroyed by music in trains, airports, lifts, cannot concentrate on a Beethoven Quartet.
Lutoslawski, Witold
You are the music while the music lasts.
Eliot, T. S.
Music is only love looking for words.
Durrell, Lawrence
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
Mozart is sweet sunshine.
Dvorak, Antonin
Music is the shorthand of emotion.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
If a thing isn't worth saying, you sing it.
Pierre Beaumarchais
A good composer does not imitate; he steals.
Stravinsky, Igor
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
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
The man that hath no music in himself, nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils. The motions of his spirit are dull as night, and his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be trusted.
Shakespeare, William
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
The English may not like music, but they absolutely love the noise it makes.
Beecham, Sir Thomas
The most perfect expression of human behavior is a string quartet.
Tate, Jeffrey
Don't play what's there, play what's not there.
Davis, Miles
An intellectual snob is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture and not think of The Lone Ranger.
Dan Rather
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
Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van
Music is the vernacular of the human soul.
Latham, Geoffrey
Music is a beautiful opiate, if you don't take it too seriously.
Miller, Henry
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
Music is the key to the female heart.
Seume, Johann G.
Alas! all music jars when the soul's out of tune.
Cervantes, Miguel De
