One minute, he thought, you're allowed the illusion that things are pretty much the way they've always been and always will be. Next time you turn around, some pinhead rips the world out from under you, and the weirdness starts pouring in from every direction ... ~ Chet Williamson
Chet quotes by Chet Williamson
Our generation's grown up with the Internet, so it's an extension of our social lives; it's an extension of us. It makes perfect sense for me to use that medium. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
In Europe they look upon jazz as art. In America it's a diversion. Somebody opens a restaurant and installs another band off to the side. People don't listen. ~ Chet Baker
Chet quotes by Chet Baker
Chet Atkins ... is probably the best guitar player who ever lived. ~ Charley Pride
Chet quotes by Charley Pride
On my Instagram, lots of people tag me in photos of just dudes with beards, and they're like, 'Oh my God, I met Chet Faker' and I'm like, 'That doesn't even look like me.' ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
Lenny Breau is one of the true geniuses of the guitar. I suppose he is a musician's musician. His knowledge of the instrument and the music is so vast, and I think that's what knocks people out about him. But he's such a tasty player too. I think if Chopin had played guitar, he would have sounded like Lenny Breau. ~ Chet Atkins
Chet quotes by Chet Atkins
In Europe it was once commonly believed that beasts could be possessed by demons and controlled by the evil of Satan. So animals, even birds and insects, were tried by ecclesiastical courts, just like witches and heretics. They were excommunicated, tortured and condemned to death. ~ Chet Williamson
Chet quotes by Chet Williamson
I always try to work hard and get things done as soon as possible, but never at the loss of quality of the product. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
I think that connection with humans is so important. Sometimes I'll do this monologue and talk to the crowd, like, 'Come on, let's really connect here.' I don't think a lot of people understand it's a two-way exchange. Some people go to a show and are like, 'Yeah, you make me feel.' That's not how it works. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
If I had stayed purely a horror writer or thriller writer, I might have more of a presence in those particular genres, and I'd certainly have more individual titles to market, since it's much easier to write pure genre fiction than it is to create something different. ~ Chet Williamson
Chet quotes by Chet Williamson
Now, Jasper, as a great man once said, 'A brave and steadfast heart can overcome any fear.' So don't worry. I'll be back with Benelaius shortly. In the meantime, look about for clues, only don't disturb anything.
[ ... ]
I knew only too well who that great man was whom he spoke of. Camber Fosrick. I had committed the quote to memory as well. So Lindavar, one of the War Wizards of Cormyr, was addicted to trashy literature too. I would have chuckled had I not been so scared. ~ Chet Williamson
Chet quotes by Chet Williamson
I'll always be poor in my mind. ~ Chet Atkins
Chet quotes by Chet Atkins
Gossip? Me? How would I know about such things?" "Don't think of it as gossip. Think of it as rumor and innuendo. ~ Chet Williamson
Chet quotes by Chet Williamson
We'll find him, sir." "No you won't," Childermass said. "Because Peter has done it again." He then flew into a tantrum that lasted more than five minutes. He repeatedly kicked the side of a car. He snatched the machine gun from his bodyguard and shot out two searchlights. Grown men got in each other's ways trying to make themselves scarce. Childermass dropped the machine gun and hit himself in the face with his fist until they were able to subdue him and sit him down and pour whiskey into him. ~ Chet Williamson
Chet quotes by Chet Williamson
What a guy, what a fool am I, to think my breaking heart could kid the moon ~ Chet Baker
Chet quotes by Chet Baker
Did you happen to see what time slot they gave me?'
'Eight o'clock. All eyes, er, lips will be on you.'
I dug into my purse for a tube of lip balm and tucked it into the front pocket of his tee. ' A friendly deed for a friend in need. Halfway through your shift, you'll thank me.'
He dug out the tube and read the label - creme de menthe flavored. 'For real? This is as close as I'm getting to touching your lips tonight? ~ Becca Fitzpatrick
Chet quotes by Becca Fitzpatrick
The customers were mainly people middle-aged or older, and they'd probably take a sledge hammer to anything that spewed out the top forty. This was Lawrence Welk country. A wild tune was a polka. ~ Chet Williamson
Chet quotes by Chet Williamson
Chet Sinclair is a six-foot-two-plus, lean, mean, rich sadist.
And I let him fuck me.
Three times. ~ Marata Eros
Chet quotes by Marata Eros
I never got lessons. I took influence from Chet Baker, Ian Dury, and Joe Strummer. I don't hear my voice and think, 'Yeah, that's a banging voice!' It's more about putting the right emotions into the right words and the lyrics than anything else to me. ~ King Krule
Chet quotes by King Krule
I used to believe the government was the answer to all our problems. But the ... government, I've concluded, is now aninsufferable jungle of self-serving bureaucrats. ~ Chet Huntley
Chet quotes by Chet Huntley
I think a lot of artists get confused when people like their music; they think that means people know and like them. I'm sure there's an element of truth to that, but to me, the music I make is what I'm most proud of. I prefer to focus on that and for people to focus on the music, too. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
Chet couldn't wipe away his smile. "I have learned much since we parted ways, and one of those lessons is that a static force, even in mass, can be crushed by a dynamic one."

Wellington's face stiffened. "What kind of foolish talk is that?"

"You will find out. On the Fourth of July, as you sit here in your governor's mansion pandering to your public servants - using them to climb into more power, you will learn what it feels like to have everything you believe in shatter before your very eyes."

Wellington shifted irritably in his seat. "What sort of riddle is that, Chet? You and I have been in this political game our entire lives. You know how it works, and that's not going to change. Ever. One party controls the knobs of politics with one hand, and the other party controls the knobs with the other hand. But they are all one body, members of a political ruling class. That's what we do. This isn't anything new."

Chet pushed his brows over his eyes in a gaze that could melt steel. "You will not be able to stop the ramifications of its impact. This thing I'm about to unleash upon you, I'm doing to you because you are an evil man. I used to be, I'll give you that. But I changed, luckily, before death found me. And I will not let you get away with what you are doing to this country."

Wellington was aghast. "So you're involved with terrorism now, are you? What are you going to do?"

Chet shook his head. "The tru ~ Rich Hoffman
Chet quotes by Rich Hoffman
Your name is Chet? Chet the Celestial Being?"
"Look," he says. "I don't need this."
"Do you really think I'm becoming a vampire?"
"You are becoming a vampire. Within a few months, you'll be a killer." He moves to rise. "Damn," says Chet the Celestial Being. "I am unused to physical existence and my leg has fallen asleep."
(pg. 39) ~ M T Anderson
Chet quotes by M T Anderson
Warriors in some cultures drink the blood of their enemies. Some people consume the blood of animals." "As a rule, here on Ice Island, they restrain themselves. ~ Chet Williamson
Chet quotes by Chet Williamson
Ray Cummins is my good friend and one of the best finger pickers around. ~ Chet Atkins
Chet quotes by Chet Atkins
It takes a pretty good drummer to be better than no drummer at all. ~ Chet Baker
Chet quotes by Chet Baker
I studied audio engineering at university. The background I am from, music was never seen as a viable career; it was always a hobby. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
Ultimately, I love making music more than anything. And I want to do that for ever. I don't want be on the top. I just want to keep doing what I'm doing. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
Elvis changed the country music scene quite a bit; he almost put country music out of business. ~ Chet Atkins
Chet quotes by Chet Atkins
The day you stop clapping at a gig is the day your soul dies. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
Sleep is getting to be like gold. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
When I was a little boy, I told my dad, 'When I grow up, I want to be a musician.' My dad said: 'You can't do both, Son'. ~ Chet Atkins
Chet quotes by Chet Atkins
That's what helps me keep playing: the idea of giving something to others. Because personally, I've had my fill. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
It's like my parents' musical tastes are the mother and father of my music. It's their fault for making me so emotional and in tune with my emotions! ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
All he knew was that the rage was still there, eating inside him, not with the slow stealth of a cancer, but with the rapid, careless ravening of a weasel gnawing at his entrails, or the constant alimentary torment that drives on the shark to his incessant feeding until only death gives him rest. ~ Chet Williamson
Chet quotes by Chet Williamson
This is an age when men hide their deepest fears and instincts behind a mask of rationality. Mankind has become a herd of sheep which does not believe in the existence of wolves. ~ Chet Williamson
Chet quotes by Chet Williamson
There only have been two people on this earth that I was nervous around: Chet Atkins and Mickey Mantle. It's because of the respect I have for them. ~ Charley Pride
Chet quotes by Charley Pride
Garris had pet names for all of them. Mahler was the Mad Doktor. Franz Liszt was Son of Lovecraft. Mendelssohn was Santa Claus Meets the Hell's Angels. Beethoven was the High School Principal. ~ Chet Williamson
Chet quotes by Chet Williamson
GHOST, n. The outward and visible sign of an inward fear. - Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary ~ Chet Williamson
Chet quotes by Chet Williamson
In my eyes, I think it's important that if you're doing something you're proud of and that is genuine and authentic, you have a responsibility to bring that to as many people as possible, just for the sheer reason that there are musicians out there who are manufacturing emotions that aren't genuine. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
Science is not a collection of facts. Nor is science something that happens in the laboratory. Science happens in the head. It's a flight of imagination beyond the constraints of ordinary perception. Columbus chapter -The Virgin and the Mousetrap ~ Chet Raymo
Chet quotes by Chet Raymo
Abbie had learned a thing or two about hospitals during her three-day stay. She'd learned that when someone said, "This will only hurt a little bit," what he really meant was, "Nothing ever hurt this bad." She'd learned that the steel instruments they touched you with were cold, as if they kept them in the freezer. She'd learned that when you felt well enough for a soda, they brought you too little. She'd learned that there were rules for everything, including when people could come see you, and who could come see you, and what you could wear, and what time you had to get up. She'd learned that people in hospitals could Pass Away. ~ Chet Williamson
Chet quotes by Chet Williamson
Nancy
According to astronomers, every atom in my body was forged in a star. I am made, they insist, of stardust. I am stardust braided into strands and streamers of information, proteins and DNA, double helixes of stardust. In every cell of my body there is a thread of stardust as long as my arm. ~ Chet Raymo
Chet quotes by Chet Raymo
I love that way dance music can put you in a trance. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
I like to play in the deep register. I was never a high-note specialist. My range goes from the bottom of the horn up to around C or D. High D is about it for me ... about two-and-a-half octaves, I think. But in these two-and-a-half octaves, I can say everything I have to say. ~ Chet Baker
Chet quotes by Chet Baker
It's just that I think we should be responsible for our friends, is all. If we're not, why bother to have friends? ~ Chet Williamson
Chet quotes by Chet Williamson
I am a cautious pilgrim of the night, a tentative wanderer among the stars. My awareness of my home in the universe is fleeting and incomplete. Into the homeless home of the sun-faced buddha I have stepped but briefly. My quest, such as it is, is rewarded with faint lights and scrawny cries, a trait here and trait there, a hint of the infinite and a tingle in the spine. Of "minute particulars" I will make my way. ~ Chet Raymo
Chet quotes by Chet Raymo
Chet! What are you eating?"

Nothing. It was true. The eating part was over. ~ Spencer Quinn
Chet quotes by Spencer Quinn
I got dragged to Hell by demons from the dawn of time. While I was down there, I killed monsters and became a hit man for the devil's friends. How have you been?" The guy's smile curdles. He takes a step back. "Don't let me catch you hanging around the halls anymore, okay? I'll have to call the manager." "No problem, Brenda. You have an extra cigarette?" "My name's Phil." "You have an extra cigarette, Chet?" He walks away and gets a good twenty feet before he mumbles "Fuck you," sure I can't hear him. ~ Richard Kadrey
Chet quotes by Richard Kadrey
You don't know what love is, until you've learned the meaning of the blues, until you've loved a love you've had to lose. ~ Chet Baker
Chet quotes by Chet Baker
Sometimes it feels like it's show after show after show - like it's 'Groundhog Day,' and you feel like you're lost in the system. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
My job - and it's really true - is that it's constantly evolving and changing. When I was doing the Chet Baker movie I was obsessed with playing the trumpet, and to my absolute shock I haven't picked the trumpet up since we wrapped. It was so much work. I thought I was going to keep playing the rest of my life, 'cause it was fun, it's just a lot of work. And it's a really unique job that exposes you to a lot. ~ Ethan Hawke
Chet quotes by Ethan Hawke
When I was 21 or 22, I realized I was never going to be something else - I had to be a musician. I can't commit to anything unless I love it. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
If you hear something you like, and you're halfway like the public, chances are they'll like it too. ~ Chet Atkins
Chet quotes by Chet Atkins
When you met people, they were on their best behavior, smiles and best manners. You couldn't tell what lurked beneath the surface ~ Chet Williamson
Chet quotes by Chet Williamson
Hype is a good thing, but it can also be a bad thing if you aren't prepared to back it up. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
I remember being a 12 year old art kid and feeling like there was no exciting art movement happening, especially for somebody like me. I was looking around for artistic inspiration and could find nothing - until my older brother's friend brought a Giger book over to the house. Upon seeing the first image I knew I would never be the same. A whole new world opened up to me and I have been exploring it ever since. It's no doubt that I would not be here today, doing what I do, without his influence. H.R. Giger is the king of the Dark Art movement. ~ Chet Zar
Chet quotes by Chet Zar
There's no great guitarist that doesn't sit down and listen to Chet Atkins and Eddie Van Halen, and all these other great players. ~ Lee Ann Womack
Chet quotes by Lee Ann Womack
If it looks like a cat, walks like a cat, and has whiskers like a cat, it's probably a damn cat. But if it eats your groceries, messes up your kitchen, and makes you want to rip out your hair by the roots, you either married it or gave birth to it ~ Lois Greiman
Chet quotes by Lois Greiman
Have this Chet Baker movie coming out and in that situation, I went down the rabbit hole studying Chet Baker and being obsessed with the period and the music and the relationships and the dynamic, and everything, drug addiction. There was so much I wanted to get at to kind of get at the truth. With Regression, I was certainly in Alejandro's [Amenabar] hands. ~ Ethan Hawke
Chet quotes by Ethan Hawke
Well if I could play like Wynton, I wouldn't play like Wynton. ~ Chet Baker
Chet quotes by Chet Baker
Adele's voice is incredible. Chet Baker also has one of my favorite voices of all time, and so does Joni Mitchell. And Frank Black. Oh, and Stevie Nicks. ~ Megan Boone
Chet quotes by Megan Boone
I haven't been able to think straight since I met you. I can't think of a day when you haven;t been in my thoughts. There are a hundred other things I should be thinking about, but I think about you. What you're doing, when I'll see you next, what you're thinking. ~ Becca Fitzpatrick
Chet quotes by Becca Fitzpatrick
I have an addictive personality. I was addicted to computer games ... and then all that obsessive nature just piled into music. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
I'd wear all APC if I could afford it and wasn't embarrassing to go head-to-toe in one brand. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
Chet loved artists. He did. But he was caught up in the system. He had two hats. He had to have 'em because he did two things: he was an artist, and he was an executive. ~ Waylon Jennings
Chet quotes by Waylon Jennings
The pickup bumped heavily over the worn and stony footpath. The up-down motion made Cliff belch. He hit the break and came to a full stop in order to take a pull from the bottle. This was one time he couldn't drink while driving. ~ Chet Williamson
Chet quotes by Chet Williamson
When I was banned for nine months I had an opportunity to focus on something else and I needed to focus on something else. It's who I am. I admire Miles Davis and Chet Baker a lot and I like this instrument, so I tried and I learned and practised for two months. But I stopped after that. ~ Eric Cantona
Chet quotes by Eric Cantona
Dark is dark in the darkness. ~ Chet Williamson
Chet quotes by Chet Williamson
Years ago I was going to play Chet Baker in another movie and I really felt drawn to that character and the script is good and I met with Robert and we seemed simpatico and we developed. But I had a real passion for that role and that brought me deep into that film 'cause I got the sense that Robert [Budreau] was going to really let me be creative inside this part. ~ Ethan Hawke
Chet quotes by Ethan Hawke
Music to me is about being honest, and it's what I've always pictured music as. I don't see the point of expressing yourself if you are going to be cryptic about it. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
All of my friends are really good dancers, which was initially why I never danced - we'd go out, and they would kill it, and I'd be like, 'Yeah, I'm just gonna sit at the bar.' ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
My biggest enemy for the longest time was my head. When I first became successful, it made me anxious because I was overthinking everything, and you hear so many 'fail' stories. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
Coincidence is the science of the true believer. ~ Chet Raymo
Chet quotes by Chet Raymo
All my ego wants is to be sitting by a lake in Italy. It doesn't want to be backstage, warming up. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
Being with Karen had made him realize how much the past few days (rather, nights) had changed him. He had always been a loner, but on those nights when he had been Don Juan and Casanova, and yes, de Sade, too, sex was better than it had ever been before. That was what frightened him. for he knew those nights were only masturbatory fantasies that pulled him inward, toward the self, barring the rest of humanity from his life. And he knew that if it continued, it would be harder and harder to return, and ultimately he would want to stay in the dreams forever. ~ Chet Williamson
Chet quotes by Chet Williamson
Maybe where there's clarity of air, there's clarity of thought. ~ Chet Huntley
Chet quotes by Chet Huntley
Knowledge is an island surrounded by a sea of mystery. ~ Chet Raymo
Chet quotes by Chet Raymo
I second guess everything I do musically, and I often could spend hours on, say, one snare sound. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
You'd have been scared too if that big troglodyte had put his hands on you. He smelled like dirty socks and store brand cola. Chet Andrews ~ Aaron Crabill
Chet quotes by Aaron Crabill
I just love a slow groove. I feel so comfortable in it. But I listen to a lot of fast music, a lot of techno and house. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
Scratch the surface of knowledge and mystery bubbles up like a spring. And occasionally, at certain disquieting moments in history (Aristarchus, Galileo, Plank, Einstein), a tempest of mystery comes rolling in from the sea and overwhelms our efforts. ~ Chet Raymo
Chet quotes by Chet Raymo
Writing a novel that crosses genres is a risk, but one well worth taking. ~ Chet Williamson
Chet quotes by Chet Williamson
If I could bottle this exact feeling I have right now, and sell it, I'd make millions." I said to Chet
"Well, unfortunately for you, but luckily for every other adult, someone already has. They called it alcohol. ~ Keith Buckley
Chet quotes by Keith Buckley
You don't believe Hobbamock is invincible?" "No. My people centuries ago proved that. He is powerful - and gaining strength with each new child. But I do not think he is invincible . . . yet. Could he become invincible? Could he gain so much strength that nothing could stop him? This is a question that has kept me up nights." "But you're convinced he can be defeated?" "Absolutely." "By a kid carrying some kind of magic spear." "Yes," Charlie said softly. "I had . . . an experience, what Quidnecks call pniese. What your Bible calls a revelation or apocalypse. The pniese made everything clear. ~ Chet Williamson
Chet quotes by Chet Williamson
Publishers love to compartmentalize, and 'Second Chance' was not an easy novel to define. ~ Chet Williamson
Chet quotes by Chet Williamson
Chet Faker's a reference to the late Chet Baker. I'm a big fan of his vocal style; it's quite fragile and soft, and that was a style I wanted to take on. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
Someone once quoted Shakespeare to the philosopher W. V. O. Quine: There
are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
To which Quine is said to have responded: Possibly, but my concern is that
there not be more things in my philosophy than are in heaven and earth. ~ Chet Raymo
Chet quotes by Chet Raymo
I like a lot of independent brands - Melbourne's Kloke, Handsom and Neuw Denim, and Bassike in Sydney. It's easier to be proud of what you're wearing if you've met the people behind the brand and there's more of a personal story. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
Kate had attended a Presbyterian church with her family in Norfolk; she'd heard how the God of Moses could flip out and go pretty damn nuts when things didn't turn out His way. ~ Chet Williamson
Chet quotes by Chet Williamson
He'd read that rage remained forever in a place that had once nurtured it. "The spirit of the place. ~ Chet Williamson
Chet quotes by Chet Williamson
I only wish Chet Atkins could be here for this joyous occasion. ~ Brenda Lee
Chet quotes by Brenda Lee
Kissing booth? - Stella
Keeping tabs on me? - Chet
Hard not to. when they wrote your name on the roster, girls within a ten mile radius swooned and fainted flat on their backs. -Stella
But not you? - Chet
I don't kiss friends - Stella ~ Becca Fitzpatrick
Chet quotes by Becca Fitzpatrick
I hate fame. There's this assumption that everyone wants it - that by being a musician, I've signed up for it at some point. But personally, what I signed up for is sharing my music. I've always said I'd rather have four No. 10 songs than one No. 1 hit. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
It was definitely hard when I first started, and by no means do I consider my live show to be where I want it to be; it will develop step by step for the rest of my life. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
It took me 20 years to learn I couldn't tune too well. And by that time I was too rich to care. ~ Chet Atkins
Chet quotes by Chet Atkins
You can turn something into art just because of the way you tell people to look at it. ~ Chet Faker
Chet quotes by Chet Faker
I did recording sessions as a musician as well as a background vocalist and enjoyed every minute of it. I remember singing harmony with Waylon Jennings on a few songs that were hits. Chet Atkins always put me up so high that I strained to hit every note. It was a lot of fun. ~ Ray Stevens
Chet quotes by Ray Stevens
If you're not former military, join the Marine Corps. ~ Chet Richards
Chet quotes by Chet Richards
Do it again on the next verse, and people think you meant it. ~ Chet Atkins
