- Nature's music is never over her silences are pauses, not conclusions.
- Negro music and culture are intrinsically improvisational, existential. Nothing is sacred. After a decade, a musical idea, no matter how innovative, is threatened.
- Archie Shepp on Music
- Nevertheless the passions, whether violent or not, should never be so expressed as to reach the point of causing disgust and music, even in situations of the greatest horror, should never be painful to the ear but should flatter and charm it, and thereby always remain music.
- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on Music
- Next to the Word of God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world.
- Martin Luther on Music
- Ninety percent of all music is always crap, and when too many people decide they're going to have guitar bands, then ninety percent of them are going to be crap. It's just a given law.
- David Byrne on Music
- No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible.
- W. H. Auden on Music
- No matter how many times people say it - 'Oh, I'm just writing this for myself' 'Oh, I'm just doing this for myself' - nobody's doing it for themselves! You're doing it for an audience. So whether I'm performing or writing a book or playing music, it's definitely to be put out there and to be received in some way, definitely.
- Steve Martin on Music
- Nobody was listening when I learned how to play music. But there's something about being on stage, talking to the audience, looking at them and smiling, that's always been difficult for me. I'm a lot more comfortable now, but there are still moments of awkwardness.
- Norah Jones on Music
- Nothing is capable of being well set to music that is not nonsense.
- Joseph Addison on Music
- Nothing pleases me more than to go into a room and come out with a piece of music.
- Paul McCartney on Music
- Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.
- Bill Cosby on Music
