Quotes:

For me music is a vehicle to bring our pain to the surface, getting it back to that humble and tender spot where, with luck, it can lose its anger and become compassion again.
View quotes by Paula Cole

So long as the human spirit thrives on this planet, music in some living form will accompany and sustain it and give it expressive meaning.
View quotes by Aaron Copland

A stream is music and motion: smooth glides, fast, turbulent riffles and deep pools, each posing a special challenge.
View quotes by Nelson Bryant

From politics and business to music and food to culture, African-Americans have helped to shape our state's colourful past and its future.
View quotes by Mary Landrieu

Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself
View quotes by Truman Capote

When you play music, when you are a musician, you have to realise that the great highs of playing a wonderful piece with a full orchestra is temporary and so make the most of it at the time.
View quotes by Skitch Henderson

I was a good amateur but only an average professional. I soon realized that there was a limit to how far I could rise in the music business, so I left the band and enrolled at New York University.
View quotes by Alan Greenspan

Suzi Quatro seemed immeasurably cool to an eight year old. I found her music liberating and exciting as I danced around this tiny, tinny speaker with my brothers.
View quotes by Nick Clegg

English culture has always allowed room for the freedom to express, especially through fashion, and the punk era has remained a strong influence on British attitudes, art and music.
View quotes by Shaun Leane

There's nothing like music. It's seductive, it's all-consuming, it's emotional, it's infinitely creative... I was a singer-songwriter, not particularly talented musically [that's never stopped anyone before] but drawn to the craft of songwriting.
View quotes by Jeffrey Deaver

Human speech is like a cracked kettle on which we tap crude rhythms for bears to dance to, while we long to make music that will melt the stars (Madame Bovary)
View quotes by Gustav Flaubert

The music industry is a strange combination of having real and intangible assets: pop bands are brand names in themselves, and at a given stage in their careers their name alone can practically gaurantee hit records.
View quotes by Richard Branson

It was music to the ears and the eyes! To be on the grid just minutes before the race starts, to see those polished cars and the guys get ready - and then hear the noise as they start their engines...
View quotes by Victoria Beckham

There are people hell-bent on the idea that we're a Christian band in disguise, and that we have some secret message. We have no spiritual affiliation with this music. It's simply about life experience.
View quotes by Amy Lee

'I feel close to the rebelliousness and vigour of the youth here. Perhaps time will separate us, but nobody can deny that here, behind the windows of Manchester, there is an insane love of football, of celebration and of music.'
View quotes by Eric Cantona

I think you can have the greatest lyrics in the world and if it doesn't have the best tune in the world it will suck. I mean if the music wasn't important it would just be a poem.
View quotes by Julian Cope

First of all, the music that people call Latin or Spanish is really African. So Black people need to get the credit for that.
View quotes by Carlos Santana

I think I infuse the music with a new passion. Part of this is because I have fallen in love: I am in love with the New York Philharmonic.
View quotes by Lorin Maazel

People have always focused on the bits of my personality that are a bit wild and crazy, but it is important for people to know I am as serious about my music as anyone.
View quotes by Bjork

My music can be very expressive and contain deep emotion, but often I just write for fun and see what comes out; the majority of songs you write never see the light of day.
View quotes by Art Garfunkel
