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

Let silence be the art you practice.

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

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

Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him.

Each song is a child I nourish and give my love to. But even if you have never written a song, your life is a song. How can it not be?

Music with dinner is an insult, both to the cook and the violinist.

I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.

The earth has music for those who listen.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

Once you become predictable, no one's interested anymore.

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

And, in the end The love you take is equal to the love you make.

Every work of art is an uncommitted crime.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

Singers come and go, but if you're a good actor, you can last a long time

Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the same time the immortal movement of its time
