Music Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Music

1.
I don't mind what language an opera is sung in so long as it is a language I don't understand.
Sir Edward Appleton

2.
Music is a beautiful opiate, if you don't take it too seriously.
Miller, Henry

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.
[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

5.
Give me a laundry list and I'll set it to music.
Rossini, Gioacchino Antonio

6.
Music of all the arts has the most influence on the passions and the legislator should give it the greatest encouragement.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

7.
It is better to make a piece of music than to perform one, better to perform one than to listen to one, better to listen to one than to misuse it as a means of distraction, entertainment, or acquisition of culture.
Cage, John

8.
Good music is very close to primitive language.
Diderot, Denis

9.
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

10.
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

11.
I know only two tunes. One them is Yankee Doodle and the other isn't.
Grant, Ulysses S.

12.
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

13.
All my concerts had no sounds in them; they were completely silent. People had to make up their own music in their minds!
Yoko Ono

14.
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)

15.
True music must repeat the thought and inspirations of the people and the time. My people are Americans and my time is today.
Gershwin, George

16.
Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!
J. K. Rowling

17.
Music is a readily available, highly effective tool that you use to improve both your cognitive and physical abilities.
Winter, Arthur

18.
If one hears bad music, it is one's duty to drown it by one's conversation.
Wilde, Oscar

19.
Great music is that which penetrates the ear with facility and leaves the memory with difficulty. Magical music never leaves the memory.
Beecham, Sir Thomas

20.
Extraordinary how potent cheap music is.
Coward, Noel

21.
Music and dancing (the more the pity) have become so closely associated with ideas of riot and debauchery among the less cultivated classes, that a taste for them, for their own sakes, can hardly be said to exist, and before they can be recommended as innocent or safe amusements, a very great change of ideas must take place.
Herschel, Sir John

22.
Music was invented to confirm human loneliness.
Durrell, Lawrence

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

25.
I've outdone anyone you can name -- Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss. Irving Berlin, he wrote 1,001 tunes. I wrote 5,500.
Brown, James

26.
Rock 'n Roll is an asylum for emotional idiots.
Neville, Richard

27.
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

28.
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

29.
Jazz will endure just as long people hear it through their feet instead of their brains.
Sousa, John Philip

30.
Music should never be harmless.
Robertson, Robbie

31.
The opera is to music what a bawdy house is to a cathedral.
Mencken, H. L.

32.
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

33.
Music and woman I cannot but give way to, whatever my business is.
Pepys, Samuel

34.
Music is good to the melancholy, bad to those who mourn, and neither good or bad to the deaf.
Spinoza, Baruch (Benedict de)

35.
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

36.
It is the only sensual pleasure without vice.
Johnson, Samuel

37.
Conductors must give unmistakable and suggestive signals to the orchestra, not choreography to the audience.
Szell, George

38.
It is from the blues that all that may be called American music derives it most distinctive characteristics.
Johnson, James Weldon

39.
You don't need any brains to listen to music.
Pavarotti, Luciano

40.

Schnabel, Artur

45.
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.

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

Keats, John
