John Cage Quotes

In that case I will devote my life to beating my head against that wall Picture Quote #1
To accept whatever comes, regardless of the consequences, is to be unafraid Picture Quote #1
I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones Picture Quote #1
The grand thing about the human mind is that it can turn its own tables and see meaninglessness as ultimate meaning Picture Quote #1
What right do I have to be in the woods, if the woods are not in me Picture Quote #1
One shouldn’t go to the woods looking for something, but rather to see what is there Picture Quote #1

College: two hundred people reading the same book. An obvious mistake. Two hundred people can read two hundred books Picture Quote #1
So somebody has talent? So what? Dime a dozen. And we’re overpopulated. Actually we have more food than we have people and more art. We’ve gotten to the point of burning food. When will we begin to burn our art? Picture Quote #1
I needed another basis for musical structure. This I found in sound’s duration parameter, sound’s only parameter which is present even when no sound is intended Picture Quote #1
If you develop an ear for sounds that are musical it is like developing an ego. You begin to refuse sounds that are not musical and that way cut yourself off from a good deal of experience Picture Quote #1
The first question I ask myself when something doesn’t seem to be beautiful is why do I think it’s not beautiful. And very shortly you discover that there is no reason Picture Quote #1
The highest purpose is to have no purpose at all. This puts one in accord with nature, in her manner of operation Picture Quote #1

There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear. In fact, try as we may to make a silence, we cannot Picture Quote #1
We are involved in a life that passes understanding and our highest business is our daily life Picture Quote #1
I remember loving sound before I ever took a music lesson. And so we make our lives by what we love Picture Quote #1
Which is more musical, a truck passing by a factory or a truck passing by a music school? Are the people inside the school musical and the ones outside unmusical? What if the ones inside can’t hear very well, would that change my question? Picture Quote #1
An artist conscientiously moves in a direction which for some good reason he takes, putting one work in front of the other with the hope he’ll arrive before death overtakes him Picture Quote #1
If you don’t have enough time to accomplish something, consider the work finished once it’s begun Picture Quote #1
Advertisements
It is not futile to do what we do. We wake up with energy and we do something. And we make, of course, failures and we make mistakes, but we sometimes get glimpses of what we might do next Picture Quote #1
It is not irritating to be where one is. It is only irritating to think one would like to be somewhere else Picture Quote #1
Whether I make them or not, there are always sounds to be heard and all of them are excellent Picture Quote #1
Our business in living is to become fluent with the life we are living, and art can help this Picture Quote #1
Be happy whenever you can manage it. Enjoy yourself. It’s lighter than you think Picture Quote #1
There’s no such thing as silence. Something is always happening that makes a sound Picture Quote #1
Advertisements
Now that we have everything we need, we discover that there is almost nothing that we have that we want Picture Quote #1
Wherever we are, what we hear is mostly noise. When we ignore it, it disturbs us. When we listen to it, we find it fascinating Picture Quote #1
Look at everything. Don’t close your eyes to the world around you. Look and become curious and interested in what there is to see Picture Quote #1
Why do you not do as I do? Letting go of your thoughts as though they were the cold ashes of a long dead fire? Picture Quote #1
Which is more musical: a truck passing by a factory or a truck passing by a music school? Picture Quote #1
In the nature of the use of chance operations is the belief that all answers answer all questions Picture Quote #1
