Music

Music was invented to confirm human loneliness.
- Durrell, Lawrence
Music Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Music

1.
You are the music while the music lasts.
Eliot, T. S.

2.
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

3.
I can't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland.
Woody Allen

4.
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

5.
If one hears bad music, it is one's duty to drown it by one's conversation.
Wilde, Oscar

6.
Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.
G. K. Chesterton

7.
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

8.
I've always felt rock and roll was very, very wholesome music.
Franklin, Aretha

9.
Brass bands are all very well in their place - outdoors and several miles away.
Sir Thomas Beecham

10.
Extraordinary how potent cheap music is.
Coward, Noel

11.
A verbal art like poetry is reflective; it stops to think. Music is immediate, it goes on to become.
Auden, W. H.

12.
Music makes one feel so romantic - at least it always gets on one's nerves - which is the same thing nowadays.
Oscar Wilde

13.
I like Beethoven, especially the poems.
Starr, Ringo

14.
[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

15.
The most perfect expression of human behavior is a string quartet.
Tate, Jeffrey

16.
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

17.
Canned music is like audible wallpaper.
Cooke, Alistair

18.
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.

19.
Wagner's music is better than it sounds.
Edgar Wilson Nye

20.
Don't play what's there, play what's not there.
Davis, Miles

21.
Rock 'n Roll is an asylum for emotional idiots.
Neville, Richard

22.
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

23.
A good composer is slowly discovered a bad composer is slowly found out.
Newman, Ernest

24.
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

25.
I hate music, especially when it's played.
Jimmy Durante

26.
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

27.
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

28.
The opera is to music what a bawdy house is to a cathedral.
Mencken, H. L.

29.
Music is essentially useless, as life is: but both have an ideal extension which lends utility to its conditions.
George Santayana

30.
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.

31.
If you can walk you can dance. If you can talk you can sing.
Proverb, Zimbabwe

32.
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

33.
If music be the food of love, play on; give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, the appetite may sicken, and so die.
William Shakespeare

34.
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

35.
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

36.
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

37.
One is hardly sensible of fatigue while he marches to music.
Carlyle, Thomas

38.
Jazz will endure just as long people hear it through their feet instead of their brains.
Sousa, John Philip

39.
Music is the vernacular of the human soul.
Latham, Geoffrey

40.
All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.
Cocteau, Jean

41.
A good composer does not imitate; he steals.
Stravinsky, Igor

42.
Music hath the charm to soothe a savage beast, but I'd try a revolver first.
Billings, Josh

43.
An intellectual snob is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture and not think of The Lone Ranger.
Dan Rather

44.
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

45.
Music and woman I cannot but give way to, whatever my business is.
Pepys, Samuel

46.
I resent performing for frisking idiots who don't know anything.
Lennon, John

47.
There is no feeling, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in music.
George Eliot

48.
Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears form the eyes of woman.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van

49.
Modern music is as dangerous as narcotics.
Mascagni, Pietro

50.
People whose sensibility is destroyed by music in trains, airports, lifts, cannot concentrate on a Beethoven Quartet.
Lutoslawski, Witold
