Best Quotes about Music

1.
Without music, life is a journey through a desert.
Conroy, Pat

2.
I can't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland.
Woody Allen

3.
Music, in performance, is a type of sculpture. The air in the performance is sculpted into something.
Zappa, Frank

4.
People whose sensibility is destroyed by music in trains, airports, lifts, cannot concentrate on a Beethoven Quartet.
Lutoslawski, Witold

5.
I think no woman I have had ever gave me so sweet a moment, or at so light a price, as the moment I owe to a newly heard musical phrase.
Stendhal, Henri B.

6.
A song will outlive all sermons in the memory.
Giles, Henry

7.
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

8.
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)

9.
I've always felt rock and roll was very, very wholesome music.
Franklin, Aretha

Rock 'n Roll is monotony tinged with hysteria.
Packard, Vance

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

12.
Music was invented to confirm human loneliness.
Durrell, Lawrence

13.
Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van

14.
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

15.
Good music is very close to primitive language.
Diderot, Denis

16.
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.
The opera is to music what a bawdy house is to a cathedral.
Mencken, H. L.

19.
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

20.
Berlioz says nothing in his music, but he says it magnificently.
Huneker, James G.

21.
A symphony is a stage play with the parts written for instruments instead of for actors.
Wilson, Colin

22.
Music makes one feel so romantic - at least it always gets on one's nerves - which is the same thing nowadays.
Oscar Wilde

23.
There is two kinds of music the good and bad. I play the good kind.
Armstrong, Louis

24.
If you develop an ear for sounds that are musical it is like developing an ego. You begin to refuse sounds that are not musical and that way cut yourself off from a good deal of experience.
John Cage

25.
Without Elvis, none of us could have made it.
Holly, Buddy

26.
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

27.
Music, moody food of us that trade in love.
William Shakespeare

28.
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

29.
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

30.
Brass bands are all very well in their place - outdoors and several miles away.
Sir Thomas Beecham

31.
All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.
Cocteau, Jean

32.
Country music is three chords and the truth.
Howard, Harlan

33.
Music is a beautiful opiate, if you don't take it too seriously.
Miller, Henry

34.
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

35.
Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.
G. K. Chesterton

36.
If anyone has conducted a Beethoven performance, and then doesn't have to go to an osteopath, then there's something wrong.
Rattle, Simon

37.
Music is the vernacular of the human soul.
Latham, Geoffrey

38.
Next to theology I give music the highest place of honor.
Luther, Martin

39.
Song is the heroics of speech.
Carlyle, Thomas

40.
We fight our way through the massed and leveled collective safe taste of the Top 40, just looking for a little something we can call our own. But when we find it and jam the radio to hear it again it isn't just ours -- it is a link to thousands of others who are sharing it with us. As a matter of a single song this might mean very little; as culture, as a way of life, you can't beat it.
Marcus, Greil

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

42.
Hearing often-times the still, sad music of humanity, nor harsh nor grating, though of ample power to chasten and subdue.
Wordsworth, William

Coward, Noel

44.
Today, music heralds... the establishment of a society of repetition in which nothing will happen anymore.
Attali, Jacques

45.
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

46.
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

47.
Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van

48.
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

49.
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

50.
The high note is not the only thing.
Domingo, Placido
