Igor Stravinsky
A good composer does not imitate he steals.

Igor Stravinsky
Why is it that whenever I hear a piece of music I don't like, it's always by Villa Lobos?
Igor Stravinsky

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

Igor Stravinsky

Igor Stravinsky
A cultural snob is someone who claims to be familiar with the incomprehensible.
Igor Stravinsky
What I cannot follow are the manic-depressive fluctuations from total control to no control, from the serialization of all elements to chance.
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
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
The true creator may be recognized by his ability always to find about him, in the commonest and humblest thing, items worthy of note.
Igor Stravinsky
The more controlled, limited and tormented art is, the freer it is.
Igor Stravinsky
To be deprived of art and left alone with philosophy is to be close to Hell.
Igor Stravinsky
