Inspirational Music Quotes


Here are some of my favorite quotes about music. Enjoy and feel free to post your own!

"If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odor!"
- William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night

Music is what life sounds like. -Eric Olson

"Music fills the infinite between two souls" - Rabindranath Tagore

"Without Music, life would be an error" - Friedrich Nietzsche

"I've never known a musician who regretted being one. Whatever deceptions life has in store for you, music itself is not going to let you down" -Virgil Thompson

"Music is an outburst of the soul" -Frederick Delius

Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons. You will find it is to the soul what a water bath is to the body. -Oliver Wendell Holmes

"Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and cannot remain silent" -Victor Hugo

"Music is love in search of a word" -Sidonie Gabrielle
