More quotes by Igor Stravinsky
To be deprived of art and left alone with philosophy is to be close to Hell.
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
One has a nose. The nose scents and it chooses. An artist is simply a kind of 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
The more controlled, limited and tormented art is, the freer it is.
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
A cultural snob is someone who claims to be familiar with the incomprehensible.
Igor Stravinsky
Revolution means turning the wheel.
Igor Stravinsky
I knew I had to write a Mass of my own, but a real one.
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
We cannot describe sound, but we cannot forget it either.
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
Music must be listened to it is not enough to hear it. A duck hears also.
Igor Stravinsky
Vivaldi didn't write 400 concertos he wrote one concerto 400 times.
Igor Stravinsky
All music is nothing more than a succession of impulses that converge towards a definite point of repose.
Igor Stravinsky
We have a duty towards music, namely, to invent it.
Igor Stravinsky
What gives the artist real prestige is his imitators.
Igor Stravinsky
Music's exclusive function is to structure the flow of time and keep order in it.
Igor Stravinsky
Composers combine notes, that's all.
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
