Music Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Music

1.
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

2.
The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races. The economics of this musical Esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud.
Steiner, George

3.
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

4.
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.

5.
Like everything else in nature, music is a becoming, and it becomes its full self, when its sounds and laws are used by intelligent man for the production of harmony, and so made the vehicle of emotion and thought.
Mungers, Theodore

6.
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

7.
Jazz will endure just as long people hear it through their feet instead of their brains.
Sousa, John Philip

8.
Music is the vernacular of the human soul.
Latham, Geoffrey

9.
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

10.
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

11.
Music is the key to the female heart.
Seume, Johann G.

12.
There's a basic rule which runs through all kinds of music, kind of an unwritten rule. I don't know what it is. But I've got it.
Wood, Ron

13.
I resent performing for frisking idiots who don't know anything.
Lennon, John

14.
One is hardly sensible of fatigue while he marches to music.
Carlyle, Thomas

15.
Good music is very close to primitive language.
Diderot, Denis

16.
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

17.
I hate music, especially when it's played.
Jimmy Durante

18.
Extraordinary how potent cheap music is.
Coward, Noel

19.
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

20.
Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!
J. K. Rowling

21.
I can't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland.
Woody Allen

22.
The opera is to music what a bawdy house is to a cathedral.
Mencken, H. L.

23.
Hell is full of musical amateurs: music is the brandy of the damned.
George Bernard Shaw

24.
A musicologist is a man who can read music but can't hear it.
Sir Thomas Beecham

25.
Music is a beautiful opiate, if you don't take it too seriously.
Miller, Henry

26.
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

27.
Mozart is sweet sunshine.
Dvorak, Antonin

28.
A jazz musician is a juggler who uses harmonies instead of oranges.
Green, Benny

29.
Alas! all music jars when the soul's out of tune.
Cervantes, Miguel De

30.
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

31.
Music is the only language in which you cannot say a mean or sarcastic thing.
John Erskine

32.
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

33.
All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.
Cocteau, Jean

34.
I'm not going to be joining ZZ Top. You know they can't play my stuff. It's too complicated.
Brown, James

35.
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

36.
The pleasure we feel in music springs from the obedience which is in it.
Thoreau, Henry David

37.
Music should never be harmless.
Robertson, Robbie

38.
Music expresses that which can not be said and on which it is impossible to be silent
Hugo, Victor

39.
A woman's two cents worth is worth two cents in the music business.
Lynn, Loretta

40.
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

41.
I've always felt rock and roll was very, very wholesome music.
Franklin, Aretha

42.
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

43.
Don't play what's there, play what's not there.
Davis, Miles

44.
Opera is when a guy gets stabbed in the back and, instead of bleeding, he sings.
Ed Gardner

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

46.
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

47.
The most perfect expression of human behavior is a string quartet.
Tate, Jeffrey

48.
Give me a laundry list and I'll set it to music.
Rossini, Gioacchino Antonio

49.
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

50.
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
