Music

Since music is a language with some meaning at least for the immense majority of mankind, although only a tiny minority of people are capable of formulating a meaning in it, and since it is the only language with the contradictory attributes of being at once intelligible and untranslatable, the musical creator is a being comparable to the gods, and music itself the supreme mystery of the science of man, a mystery that all the various disciplines come up against and which holds the key to their progress.
- Levi-Strauss, Claude
Music Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Music

1.
Today, music heralds... the establishment of a society of repetition in which nothing will happen anymore.
Attali, Jacques

2.
Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue.
Plato

3.
Music when healthy, is the teacher of perfect order, and when depraved, the teacher of perfect disorder.
Ruskin, John

4.
She was one of those people who said I don't know anything about music, but I know what I like.
Beerbohm, Sir Max

5.
Brass bands are all very well in their place - outdoors and several miles away.
Sir Thomas Beecham

6.
Music, in performance, is a type of sculpture. The air in the performance is sculpted into something.
Zappa, Frank

7.
Music is the shorthand of emotion.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

8.
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

9.
[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

10.
Music is a discipline, and a mistress of order and good manners, she makes the people milder and gentler, more moral and more reasonable.
Martin Luther

11.
The manner in which Americans consume music has a lot to do with leaving it on their coffee tables, or using it as wallpaper for their lifestyles, like the score of a movie --it's consumed that way without any regard for how and why it's made.
Zappa, Frank

12.
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

13.
Jazz came to America three hundred years ago in chains.
Whiteman, Paul

14.
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

15.
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

16.
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

17.
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

18.
The high note is not the only thing.
Domingo, Placido

19.
Music is the vernacular of the human soul.
Latham, Geoffrey

20.
Music of all the arts has the most influence on the passions and the legislator should give it the greatest encouragement.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

21.
Music was invented to confirm human loneliness.
Durrell, Lawrence

22.
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

23.
Extraordinary how potent cheap music is.
Coward, Noel

24.
There's a basic rule which runs through all kinds of music, kind of an unwritten rule. I don't know what it is. But I've got it.
Wood, Ron

25.
Music is spiritual. The music business is not.
Morrison, Van

26.
There is two kinds of music the good and bad. I play the good kind.
Armstrong, Louis

27.
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

28.
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.

29.
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

30.
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.

31.
A song will outlive all sermons in the memory.
Giles, Henry

32.
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.

33.
Wagner's music is better than it sounds.
Edgar Wilson Nye

34.
Music is the only language in which you cannot say a mean or sarcastic thing.
John Erskine

35.
Without music, life would be an error. The German imagines even God singing songs
Nietzsche, Friedrich

36.
Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van

37.
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)

38.
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

39.
I hate music, especially when it's played.
Jimmy Durante

40.
Difficult do you call it, Sir? I wish it were impossible.
Johnson, Samuel

41.
Music, moody food of us that trade in love.
William Shakespeare

42.
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

43.
Just as certain selections of music will nourish your physical body and your emotional layer, so other musical works will bring greater health to your mind.
Lingerman, Hal A.

44.
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

45.
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

46.
Music can name the unnamable and communicate the unknowable.
Duffecy, James

47.
Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears form the eyes of woman.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van

48.
Medicine to produce health must examine disease; and music, to create harmony must investigate discord.
Plutarch

49.
Opera is when a guy gets stabbed in the back and, instead of bleeding, he sings.
Ed Gardner

50.
Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason.
Camus, Albert
