Motivational Quotes

Music

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
Music Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Music

1.
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

2.
Music is a readily available, highly effective tool that you use to improve both your cognitive and physical abilities.
Winter, Arthur

3.
Country music is three chords and the truth.
Howard, Harlan

4.
Music and woman I cannot but give way to, whatever my business is.
Pepys, Samuel

5.
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.

6.
The most perfect expression of human behavior is a string quartet.
Tate, Jeffrey

7.
Today, music heralds... the establishment of a society of repetition in which nothing will happen anymore.
Attali, Jacques

8.
After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
Aldous Huxley

9.
[T]here's no bad day that can't be overcome by listening to a barbershop quartet; this is just truth, plain and simple.
Chuck Sigars

10.
I often thought that if there had been a good rap group around in those days, I might have chosen a career in music instead of politics.
Nixon, Richard M.

11.
Music is good to the melancholy, bad to those who mourn, and neither good or bad to the deaf.
Spinoza, Baruch (Benedict de)

12.
Brass bands are all very well in their place - outdoors and several miles away.
Sir Thomas Beecham

13.
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

14.
The notes I handle no better than many pianists. But the pauses between the notes --ah, that is where the art resides.
Schnabel, Artur

15.
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

16.
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

17.
Music when healthy, is the teacher of perfect order, and when depraved, the teacher of perfect disorder.
Ruskin, John

18.
I've always felt rock and roll was very, very wholesome music.
Franklin, Aretha

19.
Canned music is like audible wallpaper.
Cooke, Alistair

20.
Mozart is sweet sunshine.
Dvorak, Antonin

21.
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

22.
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

23.
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

24.
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

25.
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

26.
Composers shouldn't think too much -- it interferes with their plagiarism.
Dietz, Howard

27.
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

28.
Hell is full of musical amateurs.
George Bernard Shaw

29.
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

30.
Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!
J. K. Rowling

31.
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

32.
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

33.
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

34.
Hell is full of musical amateurs: music is the brandy of the damned.
George Bernard Shaw

35.
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

36.
I'm not going to be joining ZZ Top. You know they can't play my stuff. It's too complicated.
Brown, James

37.
You're talking to someone who really understands rock music.
Gore, Tipper

38.
Music is only love looking for words.
Durrell, Lawrence

39.
A good composer is slowly discovered a bad composer is slowly found out.
Newman, Ernest

40.
I can sing, and speak to him in many sorts of music.
William Shakespeare

41.
Music causes us to think eloquently.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

42.
I've outdone anyone you can name -- Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss. Irving Berlin, he wrote 1,001 tunes. I wrote 5,500.
Brown, James

43.
Jazz came to America three hundred years ago in chains.
Whiteman, Paul

44.
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)

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

46.
For the introduction of a new kind of music must be shunned as imperiling the whole state; since styles of music are never disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions.
Plato

47.
Rock 'n Roll is an asylum for emotional idiots.
Neville, Richard

48.
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

49.
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

50.
If a thing isn't worth saying, you sing it.
Pierre Beaumarchais
