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

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

Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

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.

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

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

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.

And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinking.

Poets and heroes are of the same race, the latter do what the former conceive.

One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.

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

Play it fuckin' loud!

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.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

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

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.

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

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