When you were young, and your heart, was an open book. You used to say, live and let live.

Intellectual passion drives out sensuality.

Play it fuckin' loud!

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

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

Let silence be the art you practice.

Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.

A great poet is the most precious jewel of a nation.

The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.

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

Every work of art is an uncommitted crime.

Critics are the men who have failed in literature and art.

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

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.

Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.

Art! Who comprehends her? With whom can one consult concerning this great goddess?

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

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

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

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

Music can change the world because it can change people.
