Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

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

Music can change the world because it can change people.

Intellectual passion drives out sensuality.

Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.

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

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

Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane.

The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.

The earth has music for those who listen.

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

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

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

Let silence be the art you practice.

To play without passion is inexcusable!

I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.

I'm very happy to hear that my work inspires writers and painters. It's the most beautiful compliment, the greatest reward. Art should always be an exchange.

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

The only escape from the miseries of life are music and cats...

The true art of memory is the art of attention.

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