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.
The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
The earth has music for those who listen.
Poets and heroes are of the same race, the latter do what the former conceive.
The only escape from the miseries of life are music and cats...
Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.
You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.
A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.
I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.
One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.
Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.
Art not only imitates nature, but also completes its deficiencies.
We're not trying to change the world; just music.
The true art of memory is the art of attention.
Critics are the men who have failed in literature and art.
Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.
To play without passion is inexcusable!
Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.
Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.
I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.
Rhythm is something you either have or don't have, but when you have it, you have it all over.
