Music

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
Music Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Music

1.
Opera is when a guy gets stabbed in the back and, instead of bleeding, he sings.
Ed Gardner

2.
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

3.
Next to theology I give music the highest place of honor.
Luther, Martin

4.
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)

5.
Music is the shorthand of emotion.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

6.
Like everything else in nature, music is a becoming, and it becomes its full self, when its sounds and laws are used by intelligent man for the production of harmony, and so made the vehicle of emotion and thought.
Mungers, Theodore

7.
Music is the fourth great material want, first food, then clothes, then shelter, then music.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

8.
Hell is full of musical amateurs: music is the brandy of the damned.
George Bernard Shaw

9.
Wagner's music is better than it sounds.
Edgar Wilson Nye

10.
She was one of those people who said I don't know anything about music, but I know what I like.
Beerbohm, Sir Max

11.
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

12.
Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!
J. K. Rowling

13.
The opera is to music what a bawdy house is to a cathedral.
Mencken, H. L.

14.
I've outdone anyone you can name -- Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss. Irving Berlin, he wrote 1,001 tunes. I wrote 5,500.
Brown, James

15.
I think my fans will follow me into our combined old age. Real musicians and real fans stay together for a long, long time.
Raitt, Bonnie

16.
A woman's two cents worth is worth two cents in the music business.
Lynn, Loretta

17.
You don't need any brains to listen to music.
Pavarotti, Luciano

18.
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

19.
Rock 'n Roll is monotony tinged with hysteria.
Packard, Vance

20.
In sweet music is such art: killing care and grief of heart fall asleep, or hearing, die.
William Shakespeare

21.
Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van

22.
A song will outlive all sermons in the memory.
Giles, Henry

23.
My music is best understood by children and animals.
Igor Stravinsky

24.
I like Beethoven, especially the poems.
Starr, Ringo

25.
Music is a readily available, highly effective tool that you use to improve both your cognitive and physical abilities.
Winter, Arthur

26.
The effects of good music are not just because it's new; on the contrary music strikes us more the more familiar we are with it.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

27.
For the introduction of a new kind of music must be shunned as imperiling the whole state; since styles of music are never disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions.
Plato

28.
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

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

31.
I hate music, especially when it's played.
Jimmy Durante

32.
After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
Huxley, Aldous

33.
I'm not going to be joining ZZ Top. You know they can't play my stuff. It's too complicated.
Brown, James

34.
Music and woman I cannot but give way to, whatever my business is.
Pepys, Samuel

35.
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

36.
Alas! all music jars when the soul's out of tune.
Cervantes, Miguel De

37.
Canned music is like audible wallpaper.
Cooke, Alistair

38.
I've always felt rock and roll was very, very wholesome music.
Franklin, Aretha

39.
A good composer does not imitate; he steals.
Stravinsky, Igor

40.
Hell is full of musical amateurs.
George Bernard Shaw

41.
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

42.
You are the music while the music lasts.
Eliot, T. S.

43.
I think everyone should have a Beatles phase in their life. I think it's part of growing up in the Western world.
Jadelr and Cristina Cordova

44.
I can't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland.
Woody Allen

45.
Medicine to produce health must examine disease; and music, to create harmony must investigate discord.
Plutarch

46.
Good music is very close to primitive language.
Diderot, Denis

47.
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

48.
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

49.
Music when healthy, is the teacher of perfect order, and when depraved, the teacher of perfect disorder.
Ruskin, John

50.
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
