After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
- Aldous Huxley
Music Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Music

1.
Good music is very close to primitive language.
Diderot, Denis

2.
Music is the vernacular of the human soul.
Latham, Geoffrey

3.
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

4.
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

5.
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

6.
A musicologist is a man who can read music but cannot hear it.
Beecham, Sir Thomas

7.
Music is the shorthand of emotion.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

8.
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

9.
Conductors must give unmistakable and suggestive signals to the orchestra, not choreography to the audience.
Szell, George

10.
After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
Huxley, Aldous

11.
The musical emotion springs precisely from the fact that at each moment the composer withholds or adds more or less than the listener anticipates on the basis of a pattern that he thinks he can guess, but that he is incapable of wholly divining. If the composer withholds more than we anticipate, we experience a delicious falling sensation; we feel we have been torn from a stable point on the musical ladder and thrust into the void. When the composer withholds less, the opposite occurs: he forces us to perform gymnastic exercises more skillful than our own.
Levi-Strauss, Claude

12.
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

13.
After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
Aldous Huxley

14.
Music like religion, unconditionally brings in its train all the moral virtues to the heart it enters, even though that heart is not in the least worthy.
Jean Baptiste Montegut

15.
Just as certain selections of music will nourish your physical body and your emotional layer, so other musical works will bring greater health to your mind.
Lingerman, Hal A.

16.
Next to theology I give music the highest place of honor.
Luther, Martin

17.
Music makes one feel so romantic - at least it always gets on one's nerves - which is the same thing nowadays.
Oscar Wilde

18.
I was a veteran before I was a teenager.
Jackson, Michael

19.
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.

20.
Music, moody food of us that trade in love.
William Shakespeare

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

22.
The pleasure we feel in music springs from the obedience which is in it.
Thoreau, Henry David

23.
Music expresses that which can not be said and on which it is impossible to be silent
Hugo, Victor

24.
One is hardly sensible of fatigue while he marches to music.
Carlyle, Thomas

25.
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

26.
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

27.
Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence.
Robert Fripp

28.
A song will outlive all sermons in the memory.
Giles, Henry

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

30.
Music is a readily available, highly effective tool that you use to improve both your cognitive and physical abilities.
Winter, Arthur

31.
It's a marvelous feeling when someone says I want to do this song of yours because they've connected to it. That's what I'm after.
Carpenter, Mary Chapin

32.
The most perfect expression of human behavior is a string quartet.
Tate, Jeffrey

33.
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

34.
Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.
G. K. Chesterton

35.
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

36.
Music is the fourth great material want, first food, then clothes, then shelter, then music.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

37.
Their savage eyes turn'd to a modest gaze By the sweet power of music: therefore the poet Did feign that Orpheus drew trees, stones and floods; Since nought so stockish, hard and full of rage, But music for the time doth change his nature. The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils.
William Shakespeare

38.
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

39.
Hell is full of musical amateurs.
George Bernard Shaw

40.
[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

41.
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

42.
Music is the only language in which you cannot say a mean or sarcastic thing.
John Erskine

43.
I like Beethoven, especially the poems.
Starr, Ringo

44.
It is the only sensual pleasure without vice.
Johnson, Samuel

45.
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

46.
You are the music while the music lasts.
Eliot, T. S.

47.
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

48.
A musicologist is a man who can read music but can't hear it.
Sir Thomas Beecham

49.
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

50.
Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van
