Music Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Music

William Shakespeare

4.
Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence.
Robert Fripp

Franklin, Aretha

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

Igor Stravinsky

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

17.
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

18.
After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
Huxley, Aldous

19.
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

20.
Music expresses that which can not be said and on which it is impossible to be silent
Hugo, Victor

21.
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

22.
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

23.
A woman's two cents worth is worth two cents in the music business.
Lynn, Loretta

24.
Without music, life would be an error. The German imagines even God singing songs
Nietzsche, Friedrich

She was one of those people who said I don't know anything about music, but I know what I like.
Beerbohm, Sir Max

26.
Music is the key to the female heart.
Seume, Johann G.

27.
A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don't think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time.
Carey, Mariah

28.
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

29.
Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!
J. K. Rowling

30.
There are two golden rules for an orchestra: start together and finish together. The public doesn't give a damn what goes on in between.
Beecham, Sir Thomas

31.
A symphony is a stage play with the parts written for instruments instead of for actors.
Wilson, Colin

32.
Music, the greatest good that mortals know, And all of heaven we have below.
Addison, Joseph

33.
Music is the shorthand of emotion.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

34.
The way to write American music is simple. All you have to do is be an American and then write any kind of music you wish.
Virgil Thomson

35.
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

36.
Music is the vernacular of the human soul.
Latham, Geoffrey

37.
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

38.
Jazz came to America three hundred years ago in chains.
Whiteman, Paul

39.
They said, You have a blue guitar, you do not play things as they are. The man replied, Things as they are changed upon a blue guitar.
Stevens, Wallace

40.
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

41.
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

42.
Today, music heralds... the establishment of a society of repetition in which nothing will happen anymore.
Attali, Jacques

43.
The pleasure we feel in music springs from the obedience which is in it.
Thoreau, Henry David

44.
Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van

45.
Modern music is as dangerous as narcotics.
Mascagni, Pietro

46.
Music causes us to think eloquently.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

47.
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

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

49.
[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

50.
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
