Music Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Music

1.
I would advise you to keep your overhead down; avoid a major drug habit; play everyday, and take it in front of other people. They need to hear it, and you need them to hear it.
Taylor, James

2.
Music is the shorthand of emotion.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

3.
It was called the Backstreet Market, and it was just like a local hangout. That was where the kids would drive their cars, hang out with their convertibles and listen to music. That's how we got Backstreet. We put Boys on it, because no matter how old we get, we'll always be boys.
Richardson, Kevin

4.
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

5.
Classical music is the kind we keep thinking will turn into a tune.
Kin Hubbard

6.
I wish Frank Sinatra would just shut up and sing.
Bacall, Lauren

7.
In sweet music is such art: killing care and grief of heart fall asleep, or hearing, die.
William Shakespeare

8.
Music makes one feel so romantic - at least it always gets on one's nerves - which is the same thing nowadays.
Oscar Wilde

9.
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

10.
Music is the key to the female heart.
Seume, Johann G.

11.
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

12.
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

13.
Music is the fourth great material want, first food, then clothes, then shelter, then music.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

14.
Sounds like the blues are composed of feeling, finesse, and fear.
Gibbons, Billy

15.
The English may not like music, but they absolutely love the noise it makes.
Beecham, Sir Thomas

16.
Rock 'n Roll is an asylum for emotional idiots.
Neville, Richard

17.
All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.
Cocteau, Jean

18.
A woman's two cents worth is worth two cents in the music business.
Lynn, Loretta

19.
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

20.
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

21.
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

22.
There is something suspicious about music, gentlemen. I insist that she is, by her nature, equivocal. I shall not be going too far in saying at once that she is politically suspect.
Mann, Thomas

23.
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

24.
It is from the blues that all that may be called American music derives it most distinctive characteristics.
Johnson, James Weldon

25.
After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
Aldous Huxley

26.
Country music is three chords and the truth.
Howard, Harlan

27.
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

28.
Alas! all music jars when the soul's out of tune.
Cervantes, Miguel De

29.
Today, music heralds... the establishment of a society of repetition in which nothing will happen anymore.
Attali, Jacques

30.
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

31.
The pleasure we feel in music springs from the obedience which is in it.
Thoreau, Henry David

32.
A musicologist is a man who can read music but cannot hear it.
Beecham, Sir Thomas

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

34.
Brass bands are all very well in their place - outdoors and several miles away.
Sir Thomas Beecham

35.
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

36.
Music, in performance, is a type of sculpture. The air in the performance is sculpted into something.
Zappa, Frank

37.
There is no feeling, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in music.
George Eliot

38.
Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears form the eyes of woman.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van

39.
A song will outlive all sermons in the memory.
Giles, Henry

40.
Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!
J. K. Rowling

41.
I hate music, especially when it's played.
Jimmy Durante

42.
My music is best understood by children and animals.
Igor Stravinsky

43.
Music expresses that which can not be said and on which it is impossible to be silent
Hugo, Victor

44.
You're talking to someone who really understands rock music.
Gore, Tipper

45.
Jazz will endure just as long people hear it through their feet instead of their brains.
Sousa, John Philip

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

48.
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

49.
A verbal art like poetry is reflective; it stops to think. Music is immediate, it goes on to become.
Auden, W. H.

50.
Composers shouldn't think too much -- it interferes with their plagiarism.
Dietz, Howard
