Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

The only escape from the miseries of life are music and cats...

Real popular culture is folk art - coalminers' songs and so forth.

Let silence be the art you practice.

We're not trying to change the world; just music.

Rhythm is something you either have or don't have, but when you have it, you have it all over.

I love rock-n-roll. I think it's an exciting art form. It's revolutionary. Still revolutionary and it changed people. It changed their hearts. But yeah, even rock-n-roll has a lot of rubbish, really bad music.

A great poet is the most precious jewel of a nation.

Intellectual passion drives out sensuality.

Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.

Rock and roll music, if you like it, if you feel it, you can't help but move to it. That's what happens to me. I can't help it.

What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.

One thing that really appeals to me is this idea of music being a living thing that has an evolution that, in a way, enables the artist to sell a process rather than a piece of product.

Nature scarcely ever gives us the very best; for that we must have recourse to art.

Music should be something that makes you gotta move, inside or outside

I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.

Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend.

Every work of art is an uncommitted crime.

And, in the end The love you take is equal to the love you make.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

Art! Who comprehends her? With whom can one consult concerning this great goddess?
