Additional quotes by Claude Debussy

I love music passionately. And because I love it, I try to free it from barren traditions that stifle it.

A beautiful sunset that was mistaken for a dawn.

Music should humbly seek to please; within these limits great beauty may perhaps be found. Extreme complication is contrary to art. Beauty must appeal to the senses, must provide us with immediate enjoyment, must impress us or insinuate itself into us without any effort on our part.
