More quotes by Igor Stravinsky
The more controlled, limited and tormented art is, the freer it is.
Igor Stravinsky
We can neither put back the clock nor slow down our forward speed, and as we are already flying pilotless, on instrument controls, it is even too late to ask where we are going.
Igor Stravinsky
A cultural snob is someone who claims to be familiar with the incomprehensible.
Igor Stravinsky
The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees one's self. And the arbitrariness of the constraint serves only to obtain precision of execution.
Igor Stravinsky
Music's exclusive function is to structure the flow of time and keep order in it.
Igor Stravinsky
We have a duty towards music, namely, to invent it.
Igor Stravinsky
I have learned throughout my life as a composer chiefly through my mistakes and pursuits of false assumptions, not by my exposure to founts of wisdom and knowledge.
Igor Stravinsky
Too many pieces of music finish too long after the end.
Igor Stravinsky
The further one separates himself from the precepts of the Christian Church, the further one distances himself from the truth. Only God can create. I make music from music.
Igor Stravinsky
To listen is an effort, and just to hear is no merit. A duck hears also.
Igor Stravinsky
I take no pride in my artistic talents they are God-given and I see absolutely no reason to become puffed up over something that one has received.
Igor Stravinsky
I know that the twelve notes in each octave and the variety of rhythm offer me opportunities that all of human genius will never exhaust.
Igor Stravinsky
The one true comment on a piece of music is another piece of music.
Igor Stravinsky
Revolution means turning the wheel.
Igor Stravinsky
It's one of nature's way that we often feel closer to distant generations than to the generation immediately preceding us.
Igor Stravinsky
I never am sea sick, never. I am sea drunk!
Igor Stravinsky
Doomed to total failure in a deaf world of ignorance and indifference, he inexorably kept on cutting out his diamonds, his dazzling diamonds, of whose mines he had a perfect knowledge.
Igor Stravinsky
Conformism is so hot on the heels of the mass-produced avant-garde that the 'ins' and the 'outs' change places with the speed of mach 3.
Igor Stravinsky
Silence will save me from being wrong (and foolish), but it will also deprive me of the possibility of being right.
Igor Stravinsky
There is music wherever there is rhythm, as there is life wherever there beats a pulse.
Igor Stravinsky
