More quotes by Igor Stravinsky
Composers combine notes, that's all.
Igor Stravinsky

Igor Stravinsky

Igor Stravinsky
A cultural snob is someone who claims to be familiar with the incomprehensible.
Igor Stravinsky

Igor Stravinsky
Music is the sole domain in which man realizes the present.
Igor Stravinsky
Hurry? I have no time to hurry.
Igor Stravinsky
The trouble with music appreciation in general is that people are taught to have too much respect for music they should be taught to love it instead.
Igor Stravinsky
Music is, by its very nature, essentially powerless to express anything at all. Music expresses itself.
Igor Stravinsky
Music is...the coordination between man and time.
Igor Stravinsky
An artist is like a pig snouting truffles.
Igor Stravinsky
I wonder if memory is true, and I know that it cannot be, but that one lives by memory nevertheless and not by truth.
Igor Stravinsky
I never am sea sick, never. I am sea drunk!
Igor Stravinsky
