10 Best Music Quotes by Non Musicians in the World

Music plays an important role in my life. Not only by listening to it, but also to be inspired by the ideas of the musician. What brings a person to write a song, what thoughts go through his or her head? On the Internet you can find numerous statements, quotes and quotes from famous musicians. Although I enjoy reading these quotes of musical heroes, I find it even more fun to read what influence music has on our lives; the listener, fan or casual music consumer. Because what's the point of making music, if no one listened to it? Anyway, I find it inspiring to read quotes from intelligent creatives who have expressed their passion for this form of art over the centuries. Therefore, here's an overview of my favorites.
