More quotes by Yehudi Menuhin
Why is compassion not part of our established curriculum, an inherent part of our education? Compassion, awe, wonder, curiosity, exaltation, humility - these are the very foundation of any real civilization, no longer the prerogatives, the preserves of any one church, but belonging to everyone, every child in every home, in every school.
Yehudi Menuhin
In all teaching there must be a fusion of authority as an adult providing a stable framework for the children in one's care, and humility as another human being ready to educate an equal who may turn out to be a superior.
Yehudi Menuhin
A society without its dreamers can never be free.
Yehudi Menuhin
Life is not a finished product, it is only what we make of it, and if we make nothing of it, someone else will, and we will be his slave.
Yehudi Menuhin
We are living in a world where the individual must learn to command the raw materials of expression. He must not be dependent all the time on the ready-made, the finished product. It's the transferring, the changing of the raw into what is the expression of your own self – the whole joy and satisfaction and frustration of life is built into this.
Yehudi Menuhin
The ultimate aim in life should be to fulfill to the utmost all that within our ability and to share that which is good and beautiful.
Yehudi Menuhin
To be an outstanding musician, you have to be very attentive to the smallest detail and willing to have infinite patience in the pursuit of your ideal. You require absolute control and professionalism.
Yehudi Menuhin
I would hate to think I am not an amature. An amateur is one who loves what he is doing. Very often, I'm afraid, the professional hates what he is doing. So, I'd rather be an amateur.
Yehudi Menuhin
It is a technique ideally suited to prevent physical and mental illness and to protect the body generally, developing an inevitable sense of self-reliance and assurance.
Yehudi Menuhin
If I wanted to play the violin, I had to work. Because anything that one wants to do really, and one loves doing, one must do everyday. It should be as easy to the artist and as natural as flying is to a bird. And you can’t imagine a bird saying well, I’m tired today, I’m not going to fly!
Yehudi Menuhin
Searching and the route we take are more important than making a find.
Yehudi Menuhin
Music lives and breathes to tell us who we are and what we face. It is a path between ourselves and the infinite.
Yehudi Menuhin
To play great music, you must keep your eyes on a distant star.
Yehudi Menuhin
Mozart resolved his emotions on a level that transformed them into moods uncontaminated by mortal anguish, enabling him to express the angelic anguish that is so peculiarly his own.
Yehudi Menuhin
I can only think of music as something inherent in every human being - a birthright. Music coordinates mind, body and spirit.
Yehudi Menuhin
The violinist is that peculiarly human phenomenon distilled to a rare potency---half tiger,half poet.
Yehudi Menuhin
There are no rules in the service of God, and this itself is no rule.
Yehudi Menuhin
A dream is unrehearsed.
Yehudi Menuhin
We embark unhesitatingly on the path, in a direction that is absolutely right and urgent, supported by everyone, in the knowledge that this path is but a learning process
Yehudi Menuhin
Improvisation is not the expression of accident but rather of the accumulated yearnings, dreams and wisdom of our very soul.
Yehudi Menuhin
