Just as appetite comes by eating, so work brings inspiration, if inspiration is not discernible at the beginning.

More quotes by Igor Stravinsky
I am an inventor of music.
Igor Stravinsky
Art postulates communion, and the artist has an imperative need to make others share the joy which he experiences himself.
Igor Stravinsky
Look for the music on all things, and life will be a symphony of joy. My music is best understood by children and animals.
Igor Stravinsky
Revolution means turning the wheel.
Igor Stravinsky
An artist is like a pig snouting truffles.
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
I cannot now evaluate the events that, at the end of those thirty years, made me discover the necessity of religious belief. I was not reasoned into my disposition. Though I admire the structured thought of theology, it is to religion no more than counterpoint exercises are to music.
Igor Stravinsky
One has a nose. The nose scents and it chooses. An artist is simply a kind of pig snouting truffles.
Igor Stravinsky
It is my conviction that the public always shows itself more honest in its spontaneity than do those who officially set themselves up as judges of works of art.
Igor Stravinsky
The principle of the endless melody is the perpetual becoming of a music that never had any reason for starting, any more than it has any reason for ending.
Igor Stravinsky
Music must be listened to it is not enough to hear it. A duck hears also.
Igor Stravinsky
Music is...the coordination between man and time.
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
Old age is a time of humiliations, the most disagreeable of which, for me, is that I cannot work long at sustained high pressure with no leaks in concentration.
Igor Stravinsky
My freedom will be so much the greater and more meaningful the more narrowly I limit my field of action and the more I surround myself with obstacles. Whatever diminishes constraint diminishes strength. The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees one's self of the chains that shackle the spirit.
Igor Stravinsky
I never understood the need for a live audience. My music, because of its extreme quietude, would be happiest with a dead one.
Igor Stravinsky
We cannot describe sound, but we cannot forget it either.
Igor Stravinsky
Music is given to us specifically to make order of things, to move from an anarchic, individualistic state to a regulated, perfectly concious one, which alone insures vitality and durability.
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
Music is the sole domain in which man realizes the present.
Igor Stravinsky
