Best Quotes by Georges Bizet (Top 4)

  1. As a musician I tell you that if you were to suppress adultery, fanaticism, crime, evil, the supernatural, there would no longer be the means for writing one note.
  2. Love is rebellious bird that nobody can tame, and it's all in vain to call it if it chooses to refuse.
  3. I want to do nothing chic, I want to have ideas before beginning a piece.
  4. I don't want to write a mass before being in a state to do it well, that is a Christian. I have therefore taken a singular course to reconcile my ideas with the exigencies of Academy rules. They ask me for something religious: very well, I shall do something religious, but of the pagan religion. . . . I have always read the ancient pagans with infinite pleasure, while in Christian writers I find only system, egoism, intolerance, and a complete lack of artistic taste.
