More quotes by Igor Stravinsky

Igor Stravinsky

Igor Stravinsky
To be deprived of art and left alone with philosophy is to be close to Hell.
Igor Stravinsky
Hurry? I have no time to hurry.
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

Igor Stravinsky
I am an inventor of music.
Igor Stravinsky
An artist is like a pig snouting truffles.
Igor Stravinsky
My childhood was a period of waiting for the moment when I could send everyone and everything connected with it to hell.
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
We cannot describe sound, but we cannot forget it either.
Igor Stravinsky
The more controlled, limited and tormented art is, the freer it is.
Igor Stravinsky
I never am sea sick, never. I am sea drunk!
Igor Stravinsky
We have a duty towards music, namely, to invent it.
Igor Stravinsky
A plague on eminence! I hardly dare cross the street any more without a convoy, and I am stared at wherever I go like an idiot member of a royal family or an animal in a zoo and zoo animals have been known to die from stares.
Igor Stravinsky
The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees one's self. And the arbitrariness of the constraint serves only to obtain precision of execution.
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
Silence will save me from being wrong (and foolish), but it will also deprive me of the possibility of being right.
Igor Stravinsky
