One has a nose. The nose scents and it chooses. An artist is simply a kind of pig snouting truffles.

More quotes by Igor Stravinsky
Music is...the coordination between man and time.
Igor Stravinsky
A cultural snob is someone who claims to be familiar with the incomprehensible.
Igor Stravinsky
I haven't understood a bar of music in my life, but I have felt it.
Igor Stravinsky
Music's exclusive function is to structure the flow of time and keep order in 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
I never understood the need for a live audience. My music, because of its extreme quietude, would be happiest with a dead one.
Igor Stravinsky
Art postulates communion, and the artist has an imperative need to make others share the joy which he experiences himself.
Igor Stravinsky
All music is nothing more than a succession of impulses that converge towards a definite point of repose.
Igor Stravinsky
The further one separates himself from the precepts of the Christian Church, the further one distances himself from the truth. Only God can create. I make music from music.
Igor Stravinsky
An audience is an abstraction it has no taste. It must depend on the only person who has (pardon, should have), the conductor.
Igor Stravinsky
Music is, by its very nature, essentially powerless to express anything at all. Music expresses itself.
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
Too many pieces of music finish too long after the end.
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
Doomed to total failure in a deaf world of ignorance and indifference, he inexorably kept on cutting out his diamonds, his dazzling diamonds, of whose mines he had a perfect knowledge.
Igor Stravinsky
To continue in one path is to go backward.
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
Hurry? I have no time to hurry.
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
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
