That statement is false. The subject of a sentence is predominantly a noun, or noun phrase, but it could also be a pronoun, or other grammatical names, performing the grammatical function as the subject of the sentence.
For example, The ball is in your court. The bold and italicized is the subject. The subject is a noun phrase, and not just a noun.
He took the bull by the horn. The subject is a pronoun.
The seasoned captain of the ship, sailed through the stormy weather safely. The italicized is an adjectival phrase, serving as the subject of the phrasal verb: "sailed through the stormy weather safely" (or the predicate)

False.
Consider the subjects of the following sentences:
To hate is easier than to love.
That he had divorced and re-married three times was a well-known fact.
Whatever he says generally catches the attention of the media.
"Let me be clear" is an introductory statement politicians seem to employ often.

I am a subject and I am not a noun.
