Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance.

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

Music is the literature of the heart; it commences where speech ends.

It's so sweet, I feel like my teeth are rotting when I listen to the radio.

I can't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland.

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

Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him.

Once you become predictable, no one's interested anymore.

You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.

An artist's duty is rather to stay open-minded and in a state where he can receive information and inspiration. You always have to be ready for that little artistic Epiphany.

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

I accept chaos, I'm not sure whether it accepts me.

Art not only imitates nature, but also completes its deficiencies.

Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane.

The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.

We all know that art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth.

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

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

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

Each song is a child I nourish and give my love to. But even if you have never written a song, your life is a song. How can it not be?

Music can change the world because it can change people.
