Best Quotes about Music
Music is the vernacular of the human soul.
Latham, Geoffrey
A good composer is slowly discovered a bad composer is slowly found out.
Newman, Ernest
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
It is the stretched soul that makes music, and souls are stretched by the pull of opposites --opposite bents, tastes, yearnings, loyalties. Where there is no polarity --where energies flow smoothly in one direction --there will be much doing but no music.
Hoffer, Eric
If you look deep enough you will see music; the heart of nature being everywhere music.
Carlyle, Thomas
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
Music of all the arts has the most influence on the passions and the legislator should give it the greatest encouragement.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.
Cocteau, Jean
I'm not going to be joining ZZ Top. You know they can't play my stuff. It's too complicated.
Brown, James
Music and woman I cannot but give way to, whatever my business is.
Pepys, Samuel
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
In sweet music is such art: killing care and grief of heart fall asleep, or hearing, die.
William Shakespeare
I've outdone anyone you can name -- Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss. Irving Berlin, he wrote 1,001 tunes. I wrote 5,500.
Brown, James
Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water bath is to the body.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
The notes I handle no better than many pianists. But the pauses between the notes --ah, that is where the art resides.
Schnabel, Artur
Rock 'n Roll is monotony tinged with hysteria.
Packard, Vance
Canned music is like audible wallpaper.
Cooke, Alistair
Music is a readily available, highly effective tool that you use to improve both your cognitive and physical abilities.
Winter, Arthur
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
Rock 'n Roll is an asylum for emotional idiots.
Neville, Richard
The author's conviction on this day of New Year is that music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance; that poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music; but this must not be taken as implying that all good music is dance music or all poetry lyric. Bach and Mozart are never too far from physical movement.
Pound, Ezra
There is no feeling, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in music.
George Eliot
Music, moody food of us that trade in love.
William Shakespeare
Music was invented to confirm human loneliness.
Durrell, Lawrence
Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears form the eyes of woman.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van
A good composer does not imitate; he steals.
Stravinsky, Igor
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
Music, in performance, is a type of sculpture. The air in the performance is sculpted into something.
Zappa, Frank
One is hardly sensible of fatigue while he marches to music.
Carlyle, Thomas
Alas! all music jars when the soul's out of tune.
Cervantes, Miguel De
Country music is three chords and the truth.
Howard, Harlan
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.
A musicologist is a man who can read music but cannot hear it.
Beecham, Sir Thomas
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
Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence.
Robert Fripp
I like Beethoven, especially the poems.
Starr, Ringo
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
Classical music is the kind we keep thinking will turn into a tune.
Kin Hubbard
It is the only sensual pleasure without vice.
Johnson, Samuel
If anyone has conducted a Beethoven performance, and then doesn't have to go to an osteopath, then there's something wrong.
Rattle, Simon
Without music, life is a journey through a desert.
Conroy, Pat
The pleasure we feel in music springs from the obedience which is in it.
Thoreau, Henry David
Music is good to the melancholy, bad to those who mourn, and neither good or bad to the deaf.
Spinoza, Baruch (Benedict de)
Music should never be harmless.
Robertson, Robbie
I can sing, and speak to him in many sorts of music.
William Shakespeare
The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races. The economics of this musical Esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud.
Steiner, George
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
Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.
G. K. Chesterton
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
Music is essentially useless, as life is: but both have an ideal extension which lends utility to its conditions.
George Santayana
