Franz Liszt Quotes

Where words fail, music speaks.

Love cannot express the idea of music, while music may give an idea of love.

Music is in everything I do.

Music is magic.

Music, the word we use in our everyday language, is nothing less than the picture of our Beloved. It is because music is the picture of our Beloved that we love music.

For me, music is all about emotion and attitude.

Music is the shorthand of emotion.

Music is the universal language of mankind.

I love the sound of the saxophone. It became my singing voice, and it sounds so human. The saxophone could carry the words past the border of words. It can carry it a little bit farther.

When I sing, I want people to think only about the tenor and only about the music.

When words leave off, music begins.

Music is passionate. It's love for me.

Music is what our feelings sound like.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

Music is love in search of a word.

I can see the music. I know what it looks like. I know what color it is. The words come easy, the tears come easy, and the joy comes easy. The music tells you what to do.

What love is to man, music is to the arts and to mankind. Music is love itself - it is the purest, most ethereal language of passion, showing in a thousand ways all possible changes of color and feeling; and though true in only a single instance, it yet can be understood by thousands of men - who all feel differently.

I've always loved color because it's a little bit like music. I love that it seems to be both physical and ephemeral and engages us as a metaphor for our feeling lives.

Music is so unpredictable, but it's universal.

Music has unique ways of speaking to the soul.

Music is about feeling.

Singing is how I express everything. Hunger, needing new clothes... it's all through song.

Music is the perfect type of art.

Music is the art of all the invisible things that are real. Art, emotion, spiritual essence, consciousness - these things are hard to prove. Music helps you to focus on your sound. We understand that for very young kids.

Music, when combined with a pleasurable idea, is poetry; music, without the idea, is simply music; the idea, without the music, is prose, from its very definitiveness.
