I play the piano and guitar and double bass in two separate bands. And yes, you can quote me saying "I play the violin I would on the double bass: screechingly loud".

I play violin also, as well as guitar and singing (I count the voice as an instrument, it's just as fragile, if not more because you have more opportunities to ruin it than most others).
Not sure how famous these are, or if these are along the lines of what you were searching for but:
"It is as absurd to say that a man can't love one woman all the time as it is to say that a violinist needs several violins to play the same piece of music" (Honoré de Balzac, French writer)
"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music" (Aldous Huxley)
"Of course the music is a great difficulty. You see, if one plays good music, people don't listen, and if one plays bad music people don't talk" (Oscar [Fingal O'Flahertie Wills] Wilde)
"Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent" (Victor Hugo)
"Music - it is the only sensual pleasure without vice" (Dr. Samuel Johnson, English author, lexicographer)
"Difficult do you call it, Sir? I wish it were impossible" (Dr. Samuel Johnson, English author, lexicographer - of a violinist's playing)

I heard a saying - that life is like playing the violin at a concert, breaking a string - but finishing the performance on three strings. Sorry that's not phrased better. But it was something like that!
I play guitar
