Mandelstam's style is not singular. He could be stately and traditional, ribald and funny, hectic, elegiac. He could handle abstractions and ideas as well as Pope or Browning but then be so musical that other poems approach pure sound. ~ Christian Wiman
Musical Style quotes by Christian Wiman
I kind of go for the MGM version of every musical style. ~ Nellie McKay
Musical Style quotes by Nellie McKay
We live in a modern world, and in contemporary music the central fact is contamination. Not the contamination of disease but the contamination of musical styles. If you find this in me, that is good. ~ Ennio Morricone
Musical Style quotes by Ennio Morricone
It is fruitless to search for a single musical style, or even any blend of musical styles, that can assist all Christians with true worship. The followers of Jesus are a far too diverse group of people-which is exactly as it should be. We need, rather, to welcome any worship music that helps churches produce disciples of Jesus Christ. ~ Michael Adam Hamilton
Musical Style quotes by Michael Adam Hamilton
Theirs [the Beatles] is a happy, cocky, belligerently resourceless brand of harmonic primitivism ... In the Liverpudlian repertoire, the indulged amateurishness of the musical material, though closely rivaled by the indifference of the performing style, is actually surpassed only by the ineptitude of the studio production method. (Strawberry Fields suggests a chance encounter at a mountain wedding between Claudio Monteverdi and a jug band.) ~ Glenn Gould
Musical Style quotes by Glenn Gould
The early Stones were adolescent rockers. They were self-conscious in an obvious and unpretentious way. And they were committed to a musical style that needed no justification because it came so naturally to them. As they grew musically the mere repetition of old rock and blues tunes became increasingly less satisfying. ~ Jon Landau
Musical Style quotes by Jon Landau
It is important to me to keep trying to push myself to try lots of new musical styles and approaches. To keep growing. It is my version of jumping out of planes. ~ China Forbes
Musical Style quotes by China Forbes
No change in musical style will survive unless it is accompanied by a change in clothing style. Rock is to dress up to. ~ Frank Zappa
Musical Style quotes by Frank Zappa
I was a little bit wary of playing Nicholas. In the script, which I think is true of the novel and the film, he's the only character not singing and dancing in a musical style. Playing someone who is the personification of good is a little difficult. ~ Charlie Hunnam
Musical Style quotes by Charlie Hunnam
I feel pretty comfortable in a lot of different musical styles. I like rhythm, and I like melody and so forth. ~ Colin Hay
Musical Style quotes by Colin Hay
Harmony of period and melody of style have greater weight than is generally imagined in the judgment we pass upon writing and writers. As a proof of this, let us reflect what texts of scripture, what lines in poetry, or what periods we most remember and quote, either in verse or prose, and we shall find them to be only musical ones. ~ William Shenstone
Musical Style quotes by William Shenstone
Like, I kind of developed my musical style in a vacuum. Even though I listen to a lot of stuff, the way I wrote was in my bedroom, really privately. It's still the way I write, actually. ~ Liz Phair
Musical Style quotes by Liz Phair
One element of Madonna's career that really takes center stage is how many times she's reinvented herself. It's easier to stay in one look, one comfort zone, one musical style. It's inspiring to see someone whose only predictable quality is being unpredictable. ~ Taylor Swift
Musical Style quotes by Taylor Swift
I was immersed in popular songs of the time, of the '30s and '40s. I was writing songs, making fun of the attitudes of those songs, in the musical style of the songs themselves; love songs, folk songs, marches, football. ~ Tom Lehrer
Musical Style quotes by Tom Lehrer
My musical style was developed basically by listening to music. The music I like helped to mold my style. I used to listen to the majority of down south music when I was a shorty coming up. ~ King Louie
Musical Style quotes by King Louie
There is only one writer in whom I find something that reminds me of the directness of style which is found in the Bible. It is Shakespeare. ~ Heinrich Heine
Musical Style quotes by Heinrich Heine
As for my damned literature, God knows what a business it is, grinding along without a scrap of inspiration or a note of style. But it has to be ground, and the mill grinds exceeding slowly though not particularly small ... The treadmill turns; and, with a kind of desperate cheerfulness, I mount the idle stair. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Musical Style quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
My style is very strong poses and expressions. ~ John Kricfalusi
Musical Style quotes by John Kricfalusi
People learn to be hostile,disparaging and manipulative because it works for them.these people expect you to react in certain ways to their style,because in that way they win.if you allow yourself to be sucked into their expectations,you have not only let them get away but you are bound to feel frustrated,helpless and eventuall your bad side of nature will reached its climax. ~ Windy Dryden
Musical Style quotes by Windy Dryden
[My] style evolved, not changed, but I think evolved as I grew and matured. I don't think there was any kind of change I did in a deliberate way - I think I just evolved. ~ Kenny Burrell
Musical Style quotes by Kenny Burrell
I am in no way a confident person - except when it comes to what I'm writing. It's just like, this is what I can do, and I have what I think is a pretty strong voice, for better or worse. It's the style I like to write in. ~ Megan Amram
Musical Style quotes by Megan Amram
Gaspard eyed me cautiously. "I really can't say," he responded in his formal nineteenth-century style. Can't, or won't? I thought. ~ Amy Plum
Musical Style quotes by Amy Plum
It is indeed not easy to distinguish affectation from habit; he that has once studiously developed a style, rarely writes afterwards with complete ease. ~ Samuel Johnson
Musical Style quotes by Samuel Johnson
There's times I've been quite nervous doing session work, such as when I'm asked to play the violin in a 'country and western' style or a 'gypsy' style. I'm not very good at that sort of playing at all. I think it's important as a session musician to have your own voice. ~ Ric Sanders
Musical Style quotes by Ric Sanders
Nobody had his [Ed Wood's] style. That's something I try to do in my films. You have your own kind of cryptic messages in there - cryptic things that most people wouldn't understand but are important to you. Things that kind of keep you going through the process. ~ Tim Burton
Musical Style quotes by Tim Burton
It is peculiar but a fact nevertheless, that the gamblers in chess have enthusiastic followers. ~ Mikhail Botvinnik
Musical Style quotes by Mikhail Botvinnik
To be a critic, you have to have maybe three percent education, five percent intelligence, two percent style, and 90 percent gall and egomania in equal parts. ~ Judith Crist
Musical Style quotes by Judith Crist
My work with AIDS patients started right at the beginning of the epidemic, totally unplanned and spontaneous, as all my work had proceeded in the previous two decades, if it were not already my whole life-style! In the early eighties, we knew very little about this peculiar disease. ~ Elisabeth Kubler Ross
Musical Style quotes by Elisabeth Kubler Ross
I can only hope that, upon learning of my imminent execution, Good Samaritans in Colorado will be moved to ship me a plump love apple from their backyard patch - and should they happen to be friendly with Hunter S. Thompson, perhaps persuade him to inject it with a little something beforehand. Hunter will know just what I mean, and trust me, it won't affect the taste of the tomato.*
*When I wrote those lines, Thompson was alive and blooming. Now, with his sad demise, still more color has faded out of the American scene. Where are the men today whose lives are not beige; where are the writers whose style is not gray? ~ Tom Robbins
Musical Style quotes by Tom Robbins
Two years of close association with some of the best (as well as some of the worst) tunes in the world was a better musical education than any amount of sonatas and fugues. ~ Ralph Vaughan Williams
Musical Style quotes by Ralph Vaughan Williams
Great books are weighted and measured by their style and matter, and not the trimmings and shadings of their grammar. ~ Mark Twain
Musical Style quotes by Mark Twain
I would like to be recognized for my style, because I love clothes. ~ Emma Roberts
Musical Style quotes by Emma Roberts
A man is free to go up as high as he can reach up to; but I, with all my style and pep, can't get a man my equal because a girl is always judged by her mother. ~ Anzia Yezierska
Musical Style quotes by Anzia Yezierska
Now I'm not the type that gets upset,
Try to disrespect folks just to earn respect.
But learn this fact: whether white or black,
I can't be conquered in my style of rap.
For jealousy and envy are dumb ones' tools,
So Ricky says nothing, he keeps his cool.
Revenge is not a mission that the Ruler's on,
Just forgiveness required for the wrong that's done. ~ Slick Rick
Musical Style quotes by Slick Rick
All money does with an empty heart is allow you to be miserable in style. ~ Stefan Molyneux
Musical Style quotes by Stefan Molyneux
Musical ability is not an inborn talent but an ability which can be developed. Any child who is properly trained can develop musical ability just as all children develop the ability to speak their mother tongue. The potential of every child is unlimited. ~ Shinichi Suzuki
Musical Style quotes by Shinichi Suzuki
As long as the focus is on God the style of the music is irrelevant. ~ Virginia Smith
Musical Style quotes by Virginia Smith
STREET by 50 is all about giving our fans the finest music experience we possibly can. The response to the limited edition colors so far speaks for itself - the fans want the opportunity to match their headphones to their personal style, and we definitely want to make sure to give them what they want. ~ Curtis Jackson
Musical Style quotes by Curtis Jackson
People who are feeling bullied and people who feel like outsiders should talk to their parents and guardians about finding a place with likeminded people where they can feel accepted. That's what I needed, and that's what I found with musical theater. ~ Nick Jonas
Musical Style quotes by Nick Jonas
I'll never like virtual keypads. Nothing can compete with an actual QWERTY-style keypad. ~ Joe Trohman
Musical Style quotes by Joe Trohman
When my avocation became my vocation I was set free.

Writing, at first, was a hobby that I loved dearly. It turned into a serious endeavor several years ago when I started writing screenplays. Unfortunately selling one out of every ten was not very lucrative. Success comes in many forms and my poor returns from screenplays matured my writing style, ultimately affording me the ability to author hundreds of magazine articles that generated a decent paycheck.

Fast forward to today and I have published my first novel "The Alchemist's Notebook."

It is a whirlwind story in the style of H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos that takes the reader from Vietnam to Innsmouth then Arkham and eventually to Europe wherein chaos and screaming terror awaits all living creatures on our planet.

I pledge to keep the reader on pins and needles hoping that sanity and normalcy will return.

"The Alchemist's Notebook" and all future novels along with my blogs will deal exclusively with that genre. ~ Byron Craft
Musical Style quotes by Byron Craft
Your literary style reflects your personality. ~ Louis Auchincloss
Musical Style quotes by Louis Auchincloss
When I was making these damned pictures, I never knew about film noir. If you had asked me about it then, I probably would have pointed to something like Bill Wellman's The Ox Bow Incident, the best Western I ever saw and very much in the style of film noir I don't care if it's a mystery story, a Western, or the story of Julius Caesar. To me it's the emotion, the lies, the double-cross that defines what kind of drama it is. ~ Samuel Fuller
Musical Style quotes by Samuel Fuller
The difference between style and fashion is quality. ~ Giorgio Armani
Musical Style quotes by Giorgio Armani
I know that people don't listen to music much in the way when they'll put on a CD, sit down, have a drink or go on a car journey. People pick and choose and just listen to tracks. But when I make a record, I try to think about it as a 50 minute musical journey, so the mood is very important, as is the sequence of the songs. ~ Loudon Wainwright III
Musical Style quotes by Loudon Wainwright III
In America, they have this thing called a story cycle. When they're at war, they start doing fantasy and war-style entertainment. When fantasy gets big, they go through a recession, and horror starts gaining popularity. When horror gets popular, mystery starts gaining popularity. Then when mystery reaches its peak, science fiction starts gaining popularity. Then things get rough again, and we go back to Fantasy". This quote was taken from an interview from The Myth of Cthulhu: Dark Navigation. ~ Sakazaki Freddie
Musical Style quotes by Sakazaki Freddie
I'm the old-school, letter-writing romantic. I know it's out of style, and not a lot of women go for that these days, but that's what I go for. ~ Andre Holland
Musical Style quotes by Andre Holland
How is she already asleep?" Sully whispers. "At home she stays up until like two a.m."

"She probably was tired," Church whispers back.

"What, from climbing a hill?"

Church doesn't respond. They get into their sleeping bags and whisper for half an hour about the outdoor soccer season about to start. I hadn't even realized the indoor season was over - Mom and Dad just told me when I needed to take them to practice or pick them up. I didn't know how they'd done. Were there any tournaments? Trophies?

After a long stretch of silence, Sully says, "So did you really try out for the spring musical?"

Church doesn't respond for a second. "Yes. Why?"

"Just wondering. Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because you would have made it about Macy Garrison."

"It - it's not?"

"No."

"Oh. But you're not going to try out forchoir?"

"Maybe."

"Why?" Just the smallest bit of mocking enters Sully's tone.

"Because I like it," Church snaps back. "We don't have to do all the same things. Try out for mathletes or something. You like math. You'd be good at it."

"Mathletes is for nerds."

"Sull, there's something you should know."

"Don't say it."

"You are a nerd."

"I'm not a nerd. Eliza's a nerd."

"Actually, I think Eliza's a geek. I've seen her grades. Compared to us, she's horrible at school."

"Yo ~ Francesca Zappia
Musical Style quotes by Francesca Zappia
All musicians practice ear training constantly, whether or not they are cognizant of it. If, when listening to a piece of music, a musician is envisioning how to play it or is trying to play along, that musician is using his or her 'ear' - the understanding and recognition of musical elements - for guidance. ~ Steve Vai
Musical Style quotes by Steve Vai
Music that gentlier on the spirit lies, Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes. ~ Alfred Lord Tennyson
Musical Style quotes by Alfred Lord Tennyson
'Star Wars' or 'The Lord of the Rings' deal with great big Joseph Campbell-style myths, good and evil. ~ Peter Dinklage
Musical Style quotes by Peter Dinklage
If you don't have a basis on which to make the choice, then you don't have a style at all. You have a series of accidents. ~ Philip Glass
Musical Style quotes by Philip Glass
Of course New York is the Mecca of style in America, but don't knock Phoenix - it's not as big, but there are lots of people with style there. ~ Amar'e Stoudemire
Musical Style quotes by Amar'e Stoudemire
I wanted all the responsibility to rest on the content of the story. I tried to make the visual style almost invisible. ~ Adrian Tomine
Musical Style quotes by Adrian Tomine
I believe I became one of the first singers to be launched via television exposure. I guess I was a new kind of musical stylist for a new kind of media. ~ Brenda Lee
Musical Style quotes by Brenda Lee
An astonishing void: official history ignores soccer. Contemporary history texts fail to mention it, even in passing, in countries where soccer has been and continues to be a primordial symbol of collective identity. I play therefore I am: a style of play is a way of being that reveals the unique profile of each community and affirms its right to be different. Tell me how you play and I'll tell you who you are. For many years soccer has been played in different styles, unique expressions of the personality of each people, and the preservation of that diversity seems to me more necessary today than ever before. These are days of obligatory uniformity, in soccer and everything else. Never has the world been so unequal in the opportunities it offers and so equalizing in the habits it imposes: in this end of century world, whoever does not die of hunger dies of boredom. ~ Eduardo Galeano
