Igor Stravinsky
The more controlled, limited and tormented art is, the freer it is.
Igor Stravinsky
What gives the artist real prestige is his imitators.
Igor Stravinsky
Revolution means turning the wheel.
Igor Stravinsky

Igor Stravinsky
Composition is frozen improvisation.
Igor Stravinsky

Igor Stravinsky
I haven't understood a bar of music in my life, but I have felt it.

Igor Stravinsky
A good composer does not imitate he steals.
Igor Stravinsky

Igor Stravinsky
I never am sea sick, never. I am sea drunk!
Igor Stravinsky
I knew I had to write a Mass of my own, but a real one.
Igor Stravinsky
All music is nothing more than a succession of impulses that converge towards a definite point of repose.
Igor Stravinsky
We cannot describe sound, but we cannot forget it either.
Igor Stravinsky
Composers combine notes, that's all.
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
The one true comment on a piece of music is another piece of music.
Igor Stravinsky
