Quotes by Yehudi Menuhin

• Music creates order out of chaos: for rhythm imposes unanimity upon the divergent, melody imposes continuity upon the disjointed, and harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruous.
• The violinist is that peculiarly human phenomenon distilled to a rare potency - half tiger, half poet.
• The violinist must possess the poet's gift of piercing the protective hide which grows on propagandists, stockbrokers and slave traders, to penetrate the deeper truth which lies within.
