Albert Camus Quotes

Music is just air moving around.

As it enters the ear, does it come in like broken glass or does it come in like honey?

Music is an important thing of energy. And there are a lot of wonderful aspects that come with it and vibrations, the physical vibrations, the movement of notes through an instrument and creating a wave that resonates into our spirit.

There's no such thing as silence. Something is always happening that makes a sound.

There is something very basic to the sense of listening. The sense of hearing is the only one that operates totally from vibrations, without other physical or chemical reactions to receive the sensations.

The first condition for making music is not to make a noise.

Take a sound from whatever source, a note on a violin, a scream, a moan, a creaking door, and there is always this symmetry between the sound basis, which is complex and has numerous characteristics which emerge through a process of comparison within our perception.

Hearing is a form of touch. You feel it through your body, and sometimes it almost hits your face.

The world is full of sounds. We just don't usually hear them as music.

Music is a physical expression that has a physical impact upon the listener. Sound travels in waves through the air. This is not abstract. This is scientific fact. And it makes physical contact with the eardrum... and with the heart... and with the rest of the body.

Inside the silence is a melody.

The harmony of a concert, to which you listen with delight, must have on certain classes of minute animals the effect of terrible thunder; perhaps it kills them.

Music sweeps by me as a messenger - Carrying a message that is not for me

Music, the mosaic of the air.

The loudest noise in the world is silence.

If sound is music and came from silence, then silence is potentially greater than sound. If the sound is effective, it should actually have a chemical - some sort of physiological - effect on the listener, so he doesn't have to hear that sound again.

Music is like a dream. One that I cannot hear.

I can hear the music all around me.

The way we look at it, everything is a sound.

That deep silence has a melody of its own, a sweetness unknown amid the harsh discords of the world's sounds.

My favorite piece [piece of music] is the one we hear all the time if we are quiet.

In every sound, the hidden silence sleeps.

Music is pleasing not only because of the sound but because of the silence that is in it: without the alternation of sound and silence there would be no rhythm.

There is a music for lonely hearts nearly always. If the music dies down there is a silence. Almost the same as the movement of music. To know silence perfectly is to know music.

Music relates sound and time and so pictures the ultimate edges of human commmunications.
