Igor Stravinsky
  • I haven't understood a bar of music in my life, but I have felt it.

  • Is it not by love alone that we succeed in penetrating to the very essence of being?

  • I haven't understood a bar of music in my life, but I have felt it.

  • The trouble with music appreciation in general is that people are taught to have too much respect for music they should be taught to love it instead.

  • The principle of the endless melody is the perpetual becoming of a music that never had any reason for starting, any more than it has any reason for ending.
