WHAT A MARVELOUS AND MAGNIFICENT GIFT THE FRENCH GAVE THE UNITED STATES...I BELIEVE THEY ARE A PEACEFUL AND LOVING PEOPLE...MOST OF THEIR ART IS BEYOND ASTOUNDING...EVEN THEIR SPOKEN LANGUAGE HAS A ROMANTIC AND CAPTIVATING MELODY...THEIR COUISINE IS ALSO A WORLD STANDARD OF MANY RICH AND FAMOUS...

Classic Quotes by Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) Russian composer/ conductor
A good composer does not imitate; he steals.
A plague on eminence! I hardly dare cross the street anymore 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.
Film music should have the same relationship to the film drama that somebody's piano playing in my living room has on the book I am reading.
Harpists spend 90 percent of their lives tuning their harps and 10 percent playing out of tune.
I am an inventor of music.
I am in the present. I cannot know what tomorrow will bring forth. I can know only what the truth is for me today. That is what I am called upon to serve, and I serve it in all lucidity.
I have learned throughout my life as a composer chiefly through my mistakes and pursuits of false assumptions, not by my exposure to founts of wisdom and knowledge.
I haven't understood a bar of music in my life, but I have felt it.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
