Quotes from Leopold Stokowski

A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence.

I simply make music, and people have always been foolish enough to pay me for it. I never told them that I would have done it all for nothing.

The highest reaches of music come thrillingly close to the central core and essence of life itself.

Music appeals to me for what can be done with it.

A painter paints his pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. We provide the music, and you provide the silence.

A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence.
