Speaking unspoken words,music is a good way to say.

To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it’s about, but the music the words make.

Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent

In a timepiece, a sweep of a second hand is so slim in a way that it doesn’t wait for no man, and that’s why we choose to conceive things from the heart.

Think it a vile habit to alter works of good composers, to omit parts of them, or to insert new-fashioned ornaments. This is the greatest insult you can offer to Art.

The music is not in the notes,but in the silence between.

The piano ain’t got no wrong notes.

They [the critics] deal with Schoenberg’s early works and all their wealth by classifying them, with the music-historical cliché, as late romantic post-Wagnerian. One might just as well dispose of Beethoven as a late-classicist post-Haydnerian.

Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music

If you opened the dictionary and searched for the meaning of a Goddess, you would find the reflection of a dancing lady.

Like punk rock, like Jackson Pollock, like Jack Kerouac, it was truly human, a mix of perfect beauty and cathartic error.

Do not look at mirage and look inside mirror

I remembered Owen telling me how music had saved him in Phoenix, that it drowned everything out, and it was the same for me now. As long as I had something to listen to, I...

Because when he sings…even the birds stop to listen.

Mac Rebennack, better known as Dr. John, once told me that when a brass band plays at a small club back up in one of the neighborhoods, it’s as if the audience–dancing, singing to the...

Bowman was aware of some changes in his behavior patterns; it would have been absurd to expect anything else in the circumstances. He could no longer tolerate silence; except when he was sleeping, or talking...

There is music in my heart. There is art in my heart and there is majesty in my heart, because there is love in my heart!

Music has touched me deeply, sometimes to tears. But at the same time it’s been life-affirming, because I’ve been grateful for the fact that I’m alive and human and capable of being so moved.

You can kill people with sound. And if you can kill, then maybe there is also the sound that is opposite of killing. And the distance between these two points is very big. And you...

For the music to be over so soon. For the music to be over when it had just begun. That was really sad.

Don’t make it new; make it whole.

Music carries the weight of being human, takes it away so you don’t have to think at all, you just have to listen. Music tells every story there is.

I wanna show that gospel, country, blues, rhythm and blues, jazz, rock ‘n’ roll are all just really one thing. Those are the American music and that is the American culture.

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

If you cannot teach me to fly, teach me to sing.

Music sweeps by me as a messenger – Carrying a message that is not for me

Musik ist denkender Lärm.

I always felt that Jim Morrison was a terrible name for the front man of The Doors. No, for a band called The Doors, a name like Rusty Hinge would have been more appropriate.

Music, when combined with a pleasurable idea, is poetry; music, without the idea, is simply music; the idea, without the music, is prose, from its very definitiveness.
