Claude Debussy Quotes

Is it not our duty to find the symphonic formula which fits our time, one which progress, daring and modern victory demand? the century of airplanes has a right to its own music Picture Quote #1

To complete a work is just like being present at the death of someone you love Picture Quote #1

Collect impressions. Don’t be in a hurry to write them down. Because that’s something music can do better than painting: it can centralise variations of colour and light within a single picture a truth generally ignored, obvious as it is Picture Quote #1

Inspiration and ideas only come to me when I have not had a woman in a very long time... Ballads, polonaises, even a whole concerto may have been lost forever up your des durka, I can’t tell you how many. I have been so deeply engulfed in my love for you I have hardly created anything Picture Quote #1

The sound of the sea, the curve of a horizon, wind in leaves, the cry of a bird leave manifold impression in us. And suddenly, without our wishing it at all, one of these memories spills from us and finds expression in musical language... I want to sing my interior landscape with the simple artlessness of a child Picture Quote #1

Art is the most beautiful deception of all. And although people try to incorporate the everyday events of life in it, we must hope that it will remain a deception lest it become a utilitarian thing, sad as a factory Picture Quote #1

The century of aeroplanes deserves its own music. As there are no precedents, I must create anew Picture Quote #1

People don’t very much like things that are beautiful.. they are so far from their nasty little minds Picture Quote #1

The attraction of the virtuoso for the public is very like that of the circus for the crowd. There is always the hope that something dangerous will happen Picture Quote #1

Some people wish above all to conform to the rules, I wish only to render what I can hear. There is no theory. You have only to listen. Pleasure is the law Picture Quote #1

Music is the expression of the movement of the waters, the play of curves described by changing breezes Picture Quote #1

I love music passionately. And because I love it I try to free it from barren traditions that stifle it Picture Quote #1
