More quotes by 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
Conformism is so hot on the heels of the mass-produced avant-garde that the 'ins' and the 'outs' change places with the speed of mach 3.
Igor Stravinsky
To be deprived of art and left alone with philosophy is to be close to Hell.
Igor Stravinsky
Music is the sole domain in which man realizes the present.
Igor Stravinsky
Composers combine notes, that's all.
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
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
An artist is like a pig snouting truffles.
Igor Stravinsky
We have a duty towards music, namely, to invent it.
Igor Stravinsky
We can neither put back the clock nor slow down our forward speed, and as we are already flying pilotless, on instrument controls, it is even too late to ask where we are going.
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
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
Silence will save me from being wrong (and foolish), but it will also deprive me of the possibility of being right.
Igor Stravinsky
Music is, by its very nature, essentially powerless to express anything at all. Music expresses itself.
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
To listen is an effort, and just to hear is no merit. A duck hears also.
Igor Stravinsky
A good composer does not imitate he steals.
Igor Stravinsky
