Classic Music quotes by Simon Rattle
You learn from music, from watching great athletes at work - how disciplined they are, how they move. You learn these things by watching a shortstop at work, how he concentrates on one thing at a time. You learn from classic music, from the blues and jazz, from bluegrass. From all this, you learn how to sustain a great line without bringing in unnecessary words. ~ Ernest Gaines
Classic Music quotes by Ernest Gaines
I'm a producer first, and I know music, so I can jump on any song, whether it's pop or urban, without changing me. Whatever I do, I'm gonna make it classic. ~ Juicy J
Classic Music quotes by Juicy J
Salieri was a pupil of Gluck. He was born in Italy in 1750 and died in Vienna in 1825. He left Italy when he was 16 and spent most of his life in Vienna. He's the key composer between classic music and romantic music. Beethoven was the beginning of romantic music, and he was the teacher of Beethoven and Schubert. ~ Cecilia Bartoli
Classic Music quotes by Cecilia Bartoli
Classic music will always come across better on the ice because skating has such a rich history, rooted in tradition. ~ Gracie Gold
Classic Music quotes by Gracie Gold
If it falls to your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, sweep streets like Beethoven composed music ... Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will have to pause and say: Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Classic Music quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Music and fashion inspire each other. ~ Ashley Tisdale
Classic Music quotes by Ashley Tisdale
Hark, how chimes the passing bell! There's no music to a knell; All the other sounds we hear, Flatter, and but cheat our ear. This doth put us still in mind That our flesh must be resigned, And, a general silence made, The world be muffled in a shade. ~ James Shirley
Classic Music quotes by James Shirley
When it comes to electronic music, I started listening to a lot of Daft Punk, way before I knew what house music was, and then progressed into a lot of Steve Angello, Eric Prydz, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Laidback Luke. ~ Avicii
Classic Music quotes by Avicii
I'm 5 foot 7, and I've got pasty white skin. I don't think I'm ugly, don't get me wrong, but I'm not your classic lead man, Brad Pitt guy. ~ James McAvoy
Classic Music quotes by James McAvoy
Papa grinned and pointed at the girl. "Book, sandpaper, pencil," he ordered her, "and accordion!" once she was already gone. Soon, they were on Himmel Street, carrying the words, the music, the washing. ~ Markus Zusak
Classic Music quotes by Markus Zusak
I don't like to hear someone put down dixieland. Those people who say there's no music but bop are just stupid; it shows how much they don't know. ~ Miles Davis
Classic Music quotes by Miles Davis
They can take tomorrow and the plans we made
They can take the music that we'll never play
All the broken dreams, take everything
Just take it away but they can never have yesterday
They can take the future that we'll never know
They can take the places that we said we would go
All the broken dreams, take everything
Just take it away but they can never have yesterday ~ Leona Lewis
Classic Music quotes by Leona Lewis
DNA neither cares nor knows. DNA just is. And we dance to its music. ~ Richard Dawkins
Classic Music quotes by Richard Dawkins

Classic Music quotes by Doris Lessing
Even if it was a song I didn't particularly like, I needed to record it, listen to it and drink it in. I had caught the music bug. ~ Jamie Jones
Classic Music quotes by Jamie Jones
I wanted to be in my daughter's life, and I decided I didn't want to do music anymore because I was compromising myself too much and I wasn't loving what I was doing. ~ Tweet
Classic Music quotes by Tweet
I always believed 'The Fly' to be a classic opera story. It's a tale of love and death, true love surviving in the face of physical decay and ultimate sacrifice. ~ Howard Shore
Classic Music quotes by Howard Shore
I write pretty often. I have a home studio. Music is what I do for fun. I never get tired of it, so to take a break from [TV and movies], I would go make some music. ~ Queen Latifah
Classic Music quotes by Queen Latifah
The people on the business side in the music business are kind of different from the theatre business. I think it's partly because there are different pressures on the industries. ~ Tim Curry
Classic Music quotes by Tim Curry
What I'm doing is basically the same as Bob Dylan did with folk songs and Woody Guthrie songs, the same as folk music's always done. I'm not going to sing about ploughing, but I'll write a song that sounds like it should be about ploughing. ~ Justin Townes Earle
Classic Music quotes by Justin Townes Earle
I have no idea what I want to do. I want to write and read and talk about books with people. I want to listen to music, go out to dinner and just live."
"That is a life," he insists. "That is a good life. ~ Christina Lauren
Classic Music quotes by Christina Lauren
I used to imagine that making it in music - really making it in music - is if you're an old man going by a schoolyard and you hear children singing your songs, playing jump-rope, or on the swings. That's the ultimate. You're in the culture. ~ Tom Waits
Classic Music quotes by Tom Waits
Watching him, I understood for the first time how you could really live music, how you could listen to it completely and make it come alive, so that it was part of your life. ~ Eric Clapton
Classic Music quotes by Eric Clapton
I am a classical music lover - not necessarily the contemporary stuff, but the old stuff. ~ Eberhard Weber
Classic Music quotes by Eberhard Weber
Whether something 'has color' or not is as hard to define verbally as are such questions as, 'What is music?' or 'What is musical? ~ Josef Albers
Classic Music quotes by Josef Albers
The commercial music world which I had been a part of for so many years lost its sparkle. My focus became the creation of music which would slow down the brainwaves, so inducing a state similar to when we mediate. ~ John R. Levine
Classic Music quotes by John R. Levine
Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas ... with the music at top volume and at least a pint of ether. ~ Hunter S. Thompson
Classic Music quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
Music, such music, is a sufficient gift. Why ask for happiness; why hope not to grieve? It is enough, it is to be blessed enough, to live from day to day and to hear such music-not too much, or the soul could not sustain it-from time to time. ~ Vikram Seth
Classic Music quotes by Vikram Seth
Little notes of music trembled in hesitation, and burst, and rolled in quick, fine waves, like the thin, clear ringing of glass. Little notes leaped and exploded and laughed, laughed with a full, unconditional, consummate joy.
She did not know whether she was singing. Perhaps she was only hearing the music somewhere. But the music had been a promise; a promise at the dawn of her life. That which had been promised then, could not be denied to her now. ~ Ayn Rand
Classic Music quotes by Ayn Rand
You know there was always a confusion that punk was a style of music. ~ Mike Watt

So I like to make music, and I like to share music. This is also a gift. ~ Cecilia Bartoli
Classic Music quotes by Cecilia Bartoli
When you look at Mark Zuckerberg and Snapchat and all these twentysomething billionaires, it's really kind of fascinating; a classic tale of the haves and have-nots. ~ Steven Bochco
Classic Music quotes by Steven Bochco
I frequently hear music in the heart of noise. ~ George Gershwin
Classic Music quotes by George Gershwin
Inspiration is an awakening, a quickening of all man's faculties, and it is manifested in all high artistic achievements. ~ Giacomo Puccini
Classic Music quotes by Giacomo Puccini
I used to turn to nature and animals a lot. And fishing. I spend time still with my Bible and the gospel music, and I still have to feed the animals! But my wife and daughter have brought me a world of perspective when I'm feeling just a little "extra important." ~ Brandi Carlile
Classic Music quotes by Brandi Carlile
Throughout his life Hayek wanted to affirm his identity with the classic liberal tradition, believing that the true cause of the crises leading to two world wars was the steady increase increase in the power of the state, and its misuse in the pursuit of unattainable goals. 'Social justice' was the name of one of these goals, and Hayek expressly dismissed the expression as a piece of deceptive Newspeak, used to advance large-scale injustice in the name of its opposite. ~ Roger Scruton
Classic Music quotes by Roger Scruton
You can't be unique any way. Music is made from seven notes. You will always come back to something. Even if you think you are unique, you will come back to something that existed before you were doing what you are doing. ~ Rokia Traore
Classic Music quotes by Rokia Traore
When I die, bury me on my stomach and let the world kiss my ass. ~ LL Cool J
Classic Music quotes by LL Cool J
I don't shake at the site of alcohol anymore. I don't feel the need for it. If anything I'll get stoned. I always told myself if it got to the point that it was affecting my songwriting and music that I'd stop. And it did get to the point. ~ Julian Casablancas
Classic Music quotes by Julian Casablancas
I think the problem with the term graphic novel is it sounds pompous, it sounds pretentious, whereas on the continent, they call it an album, which to me sounds, it's got more much of a connotation of a kind of a music single and an album collection. ~ Dave Gibbons
Classic Music quotes by Dave Gibbons
Music is that great language where a lot can be said and little can be proven. ~ Milton Babbitt
Classic Music quotes by Milton Babbitt
All music is is what awakes from you when you are reminded by the instruments. ~ Walt Whitman
Classic Music quotes by Walt Whitman
If you like eating meat but want to eat ethically, this is the book for you. From the hard-headed, clear-eyed, and sympathetic perspective of butchers who care deeply about the animals whose parts they sell, the customers who buy their meats, and the pleasures of eating, this book has much to teach. It's an instant classic, making it clear why meat is part of the food revolution. I see it as the new Bible of meat aficionados and worth reading by all food lovers, meat-eating and not. ~ Marion Nestle
Classic Music quotes by Marion Nestle
Therefore, when Ziqi died, Boya, realizing that no one else would understand his music as well as his friend, smashed his qin at Ziqi's grave and sighed, "Why play the qin when there's no more zhiyin to understand my music!" From then on, the term zhiyin had been used to describe soul mates. "Precious Orchid," Qing Zhen looked at me intently while a solitary bird soared behind him in the vast sky, "you realize how lucky we are? Most people search all their life for a zhiyin but never find one. We're not only lovers; we're also zhiyin." Though I was used to compliments from men and usually did not take them seriously, this one from Qing Zhen touched a silk string in my heart. ~ Mingmei Yip
Classic Music quotes by Mingmei Yip
It's fair to say that white America wouldn't have elected an African-American president without the integrating effect of black music - from Louis Armstrong to hip-hop - and black drama and fiction, commercial as much as 'serious.' ~ Joe Haldeman
Classic Music quotes by Joe Haldeman
Life streamed through him in splendid flood, glad and rampant, until it seemed that it would burst him asunder in sheer ecstasy and pour forth generously over the world. ~ Jack London
Classic Music quotes by Jack London
These are bad times for people who like to sit outside the library at dawn on a rainy morning and get ripped to the tits on crank and powerful music. ~ Hunter S. Thompson
Classic Music quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
Swear to God, for someone so obsessed with music, she's borderline tone deaf. But trying to describe how I felt watching her dance around and sing would be like trying to build a skyscraper with my bare hands. It made me want to marry her. Made me want to buy her a magic airplane and fly her away to a place where nothing bad could ever happen. Made me want to pour rubber cement all over my chest and then lay down on top of her so that we'd be stuck together, and so it would hurt like hell if we ever tried to tear ourselves apart. ~ Tiffanie DeBartolo
Classic Music quotes by Tiffanie DeBartolo
While I'm playing baseball, I'm still writing songs and having tapes sent to me. I'm sure I'll spend a lot of time in the whirlpool resting these tired bones, so I'll be thinking of music then. ~ Garth Brooks
Classic Music quotes by Garth Brooks
