artist unknownHappy Sunday everyone! I thought it would be interesting to share quotes from some legendary musical performers for today's Sunday Citar.
Visit Fresh Mommy for more quotes to ponder :)
My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.
John Lennon
Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.
Stevie Wonder
Musicians don't retire; they stop when there's no more music in them.
Louis Armstrong
It's like a novelist writing far out things. If it makes a point and makes sense, then people like to read that. But if it's off in left field and goes over the edge, you lose it. The same with musical talent, I think.
Johnny Cash
This is what I want in heaven... words to become notes and conversations to be symphonies.
Tina Turner

I just love quotes...don't you? I like collecting them almost like a bunch of flowers.
What a great group of quotes.
Wonderful quotes Septembermom...I think I love the Tina Turner one the most. Thanks for sharing these words : )
I really like the quote by Louis Armstrong. It just totally makes sense. I don't think that you would ever get sick of singing. But if there is no music left - you just have no choice. Happy Sunday!
What a great idea! Great quotes!

Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such a nice comment. I love your post! My daughters are very involved in their bands in high school and they both intend to major in music education in college. Music has definitely become a huge part of our lives. I will be sharing these quotes with them. Thanks!
Hope your week is truly awesome!

Septembermom...I really enjoy your posts about music. Music is obviously an important part of your life. I think it does help us focus and get our heads back on straight sometimes.

Great food for thought, I like them all. The Tina Turner one is absolutely beautiful. I read it several times. A nice post and the painting is a great choice.
Btw, love the new look :)
hello kelly,
Very good quotes, thanks for sharing. and i like their songs too. besides thanks for stopping by my blog and left your kind words. best regards.
Ooooh, I love your quotes this week. Just perfect with one another, too. Thanks!
Those quotes are as lovely as poetry!
I completely relate to the "stopping when there is no more music in" you quote. I've switched from playing the piano to singing, and it is such a relief ~ it was as if there really wasn't any more music in me for the piano. It must have all switched to my voice! Have a wonderful week!
Kelly,
You won something from my blog...Yea...Thanks for your sweey comments...Check out my latest post to find out.
I really like Tina Turner's quote. She's someone who fascinates the heck out of me. I hope you are having a good Monday Kelly!
Great quotes.
I like Johnny Cash's the best.
You never want to come out from left field and lose the audience that you worked so hard to cultivate.
Simply, YES!
Love Stevie's quote. That is so true. ...Character keeps you there. Love that!
