Motivational Quotes
Music
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.

Best Quotes about Music
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.
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
Composers shouldn't think too much -- it interferes with their plagiarism.
Dietz, Howard
Music is the key to the female heart.
Seume, Johann G.
Brass bands are all very well in their place - outdoors and several miles away.
Sir Thomas Beecham
People whose sensibility is destroyed by music in trains, airports, lifts, cannot concentrate on a Beethoven Quartet.
Lutoslawski, Witold
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
The pleasure we feel in music springs from the obedience which is in it.
Thoreau, Henry David
Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!
J. K. Rowling
Jazz came to America three hundred years ago in chains.
Whiteman, Paul
Modern music is as dangerous as narcotics.
Mascagni, Pietro
If you look deep enough you will see music; the heart of nature being everywhere music.
Carlyle, Thomas
The opera is to music what a bawdy house is to a cathedral.
Mencken, H. L.
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
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
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
Music expresses that which can not be said and on which it is impossible to be silent
Hugo, Victor
Next to theology I give music the highest place of honor.
Luther, Martin
Music, moody food of us that trade in love.
William Shakespeare
Without music, life is a journey through a desert.
Conroy, Pat
An intellectual snob is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture and not think of The Lone Ranger.
Dan Rather
Music is essentially useless, as life is: but both have an ideal extension which lends utility to its conditions.
George Santayana
Rock 'n Roll is monotony tinged with hysteria.
Packard, Vance
Music is a beautiful opiate, if you don't take it too seriously.
Miller, Henry
A song will outlive all sermons in the memory.
Giles, Henry
Music when healthy, is the teacher of perfect order, and when depraved, the teacher of perfect disorder.
Ruskin, John
A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don't think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time.
Carey, Mariah
Among all men on the earth bards have a share of honor and reverence, because the muse has taught them songs and loves the race of bards.
Homer
After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
Aldous Huxley
Opera is when a guy gets stabbed in the back and, instead of bleeding, he sings.
Ed Gardner
I have no pleasure in any man who despises music. It is no invention of ours: it is a gift of God. I place it next to theology. Satan hates music: he knows how it drives the evil spirit out of us.
Luther, Martin
The notes I handle no better than many pianists. But the pauses between the notes --ah, that is where the art resides.
Schnabel, Artur
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
It is the only sensual pleasure without vice.
Johnson, Samuel
Give me a laundry list and I'll set it to music.
Rossini, Gioacchino Antonio
A symphony is a stage play with the parts written for instruments instead of for actors.
Wilson, Colin
One is hardly sensible of fatigue while he marches to music.
Carlyle, Thomas
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
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
Music is only love looking for words.
Durrell, Lawrence
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
Music is the vernacular of the human soul.
Latham, Geoffrey
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
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
Extraordinary how potent cheap music is.
Coward, Noel
Music should never be harmless.
Robertson, Robbie
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
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
Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van
Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.
Keats, John
