“Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.” “If one should desire to know whether a kingdom is well governed, if its morals are good or bad, the quality of its music will furnish the answer.” “Music is what tells us that the human race is greater than we realize.” “Virtually every writer I know would rather be a musician.” “Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols “Without music, life would be a mistake.” “Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul.” “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination “I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy but most importantly music, for the patterns in music and all the arts are the keys to learning.” Anyway, I hope you find these pearls of wisdom as inspiring as I do. Also, I think it’s enlightening to read quotes from intelligent and creative people who speak highly about our art form. This is because non-musicians can sometimes show us a perspective that we (musicians) cannot normally see. While I personally love to check out cool quotes from my musical heroes, I find it extremely gratifying to read the words of non-musicians regarding the impact that music has had on their lives.

The Internet is filled with tons of great quotes from musicians, both past and present. (Because it’s important to get an outside perspective) 30 Awesome Music Quotes From Famous Non-Musicians
