Igor Stravinsky Quotes

To listen is an effort, and just to hear is no merit. A duck hears also Picture Quote #1

One has a nose. The nose scents and it chooses. An artist is simply a kind of pig snouting truffles Picture Quote #1

Music’s exclusive function is to structure the flow of time and keep order in it Picture Quote #1

The past slips from our grasp. It leaves us only scattered things. The bond that united them eludes us. Our imagination usually fills in the void by making use of preconceived theories... Archaeology, then, does not supply us with certitudes, but rather with vague hypotheses. And in the shade of these hypotheses some artists are content to dream, considering them less as scientific facts than as sources of inspiration Picture Quote #1

It’s one of nature’s way that we often feel closer to distant generations than to the generation immediately preceding us Picture Quote #1

Art postulates communion, and the artist has an imperative need to make others share the joy which he experiences himself Picture Quote #1

The performance of performance has developed to such an extent in recent years that it challenges the music itself and will soon threaten it with relegation Picture Quote #1

One’s belief that one is sincere is not so dangerous as one’s conviction that one is right. We all feel we are right; but we felt the same way twenty years ago and today we know we weren’t always right Picture Quote #1

A composer is not only an architect but also an inventor, and he should not build houses in which he cannot live Picture Quote #1

The true creator may be recognized by his ability always to find about him, in the commonest and humblest thing, items worthy of note Picture Quote #1

I live neither in the past nor in the future. I am in the present. I cannot know what tomorrow will bring forth. I can know only what the truth is for me today. That is what I am called upon to serve, and I serve it in all lucidity Picture Quote #1

Music must be listened to; it is not enough to hear it. A duck hears also Picture Quote #1

All music is nothing more than a succession of impulses that converge towards a definite point of repose Picture Quote #1
