Let silence be the art you practice.

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

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

The true art of memory is the art of attention.

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

Adding sound to movies would be like putting lipstick on the Venus de Milo.

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

The earth has music for those who listen.

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

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

Play it fuckin' loud!

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

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

The absence of limitations is the enemy of art.

When you were young, and your heart, was an open book. You used to say, live and let live.

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

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

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

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

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.

The spoken form is in fact a very restrained representation of what is possible in the musical language.
