Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Johann Sebastian Bach
It cannot remain unmentioned that so many poorly equipped boys, and boys who have no talent at all for music, have been accepted into the school to date that the quality of music has necessarily declined and deteriorated. And those who do bring a few precepts with them when they come to school are not ready to be used immediately. ~ Johann Sebastian Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Johann Sebastian Bach
Any species capable of producing, at this earliest, juvenile stage of its development ... the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, cannot be all bad. ~ Lewis Thomas
Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Lewis Thomas
Michelangelo is celebrated for the Sistine Chapel; in fact, he supervised a dozen unacknowledged assistants. Even one of the greatest composers, Johann Sebastian Bach, chose to deflect credit for his compositions, writing at the bottom of each of his pieces "SDG," for Soli Deo Gloria - to God alone the glory. By ~ Twyla Tharp
Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Twyla Tharp

Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Johann Sebastian Bach
Music's only purpose should be for the glory of God and the recreation
of the human spirit. ~ Johann Sebastian Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Johann Sebastian Bach
If they think they are doing something new, they ought to do what I do every day - spend at least two hours every day listening to Johann Sebastian Bach and, man, it's all there. If they want to improvise around a theme,which is the essence of jazz, they should learn from the master. He never wastes a note, and he knows where every note is going and when to bring it back. Some of these cats go way out and forget where they began or what they started to do. Bach will clear it up for them. ~ Coleman Hawkins
Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Coleman Hawkins
If I decide to be an idiot, then I'll be an idiot on my own accord. ~ Johann Sebastian Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Johann Sebastian Bach
The aim and final reason of all music should be none else but the glory of God and refreshing the soul. Where this is not observed there will be no music, but only a devilish hubbub. ~ Johann Sebastian Bach

I was a microscopic life-form, infinitely large, stumbled backstage of its playhouse, caught a nanosecond glance of its own reality and nearly vaporized in shock. ~ Johann Sebastian Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Johann Sebastian Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Johann Nikolaus Forkel
Like all music, the figured bass should have no other end and aim than the glory of God and the recreation of the soul; where this is not kept in mind there is no true music, but only an infernal clamour and ranting. ~ Johann Sebastian Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Sebastian Bach

A lot of people when they try to sing Skid Row songs, they're screaming and yelling too much. It's more singing than screaming. ~ Sebastian Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Sebastian Bach
Puffy's the only guy who's jealous. All drummers want to be singers. I think it's a myth that the singer needs to be the focus. Bands perpetuate that myth. With somebody like Sebastian Bach it makes sense. Look at him. He could be in an Avon ad. ~ Mike Patton
Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Mike Patton
You ever heard of a guy named Jeff Buckley? He's one of the best singers I've ever heard. ~ Sebastian Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Sebastian Bach
I would say a must-do in Canada would be to go skiing at Whistler in Vancouver. You could take a chair lift for, like, a half hour to the top of this mountain, and you ski down; it takes like so long to get to the bottom. You go past the clouds. It's absolutely incredible. ~ Sebastian Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Sebastian Bach

Yes, but I have to say this: the band is going to decide where the band plays. ~ Sebastian Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Sebastian Bach
It's weird, like, my life has always imitated art, and my art has always imitated life. ~ Sebastian Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Sebastian Bach
Twitter is the new rock magazine of the modern age. When I was a kid, we had magazines and journalists and interviews and articles and pinups and posters to follow our favourite artists. Nowadays? Twitter is actually the new rock magazine. ~ Sebastian Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Sebastian Bach
I think if you can get to that point, exercising, when you really enjoy it, then you're pretty much set for life. ~ Sebastian Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Sebastian Bach
I'm not interested in thinking up the name of a band and a logo and all that. Been there, done that, sold a million T-shirts. ~ Sebastian Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by George Shearing
I guess I watch more MTV than you do. I'm a junkie for it. ~ Sebastian Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Sebastian Bach
Quebec City is the most European of any city in North America; they speak French all the time. There is a part of town called Old Quebec which is really like being in France. The architecture is just gorgeous, food, shopping. I'd say Quebec City is the most beautiful city in North America I've seen. ~ Sebastian Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Sebastian Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Sebastian Bach
My first band, Kid Wicked, we did half covers and half originals. ~ Sebastian Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Sebastian Bach
The sun had, in the meanwhile, sunk behind the Ettersberg. We felt in the wood the chill of the evening, and drove all the quicker to Wiemar, and to Goethe's house. Goethe urged me to go in with him for a while, and I did so. He was in an extremely engaging mood. He talked a great deal about his theory of colors, and of his obstinate opponents; remarking that he was sure that he had done something in this science. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
The overwhelming urge to kiss her comes over me again. It's like some kind of magnetic pull. I am able to control myself, but barely. I think this is what Paul meant that time in the car when he needed to stop making out because it was too intense. I feel like I need a time out to bury my head in a pillow and scream, but I doubt it'd do any good. ~ Mette Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Mette Bach
The important thing in life is to have a great aim, and to possess the aptitude and perseverance to attain it. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Education used to be a slice of life, something you did as a child through college, and then spent the rest of your life working, and then death. Everything is about to change. I believe education will become something that fits seamlessly into life, and we will take big clunky things like degrees and college and fit them into a weekend. ~ Sebastian Thrun
Johann Sebastian Bach quotes by Sebastian Thrun
