Ear Quotes

The history of harmony is the history of the development of the human ear, which has gradually assimilated, in their natural order, the successive intervals of the harmonic series Picture Quote #1

Reading student papers, blue books, etc., a form of torture... a matter of rubbing an iron file over one’s teeth, or holding urine in one’s mouth, or having the racket of a bulldozer in one’s ear for an hour or two on end Picture Quote #1

Of course there were areas of safety; nothing could get at me if I curled up on my father’s lap, holding his ear with one thumb tucked into it... All about him was safe Picture Quote #1

They say money can’t buy happiness? Look at the smile on my face. Ear to ear, baby! Picture Quote #1

Get that finger out of your ear! You don’t know where that finger’s been! Picture Quote #1

A lot of people ask me where music is going today. I think it’s going in short phrases. If you listen, anybody with an ear can hear that. Music is always changing. It changes because of the times and the technology that’s available, the material that things are made of, like plastic cars instead of steel. So when you hear an accident today it sounds different, not all the metal colliding like it was in the forties and fifties. Musicians pick up sounds and incorporate that into their playing, so the music that they make will be different Picture Quote #1

Jesus to me is honey in the mouth, music in the ear, a song in the heart Picture Quote #1

Love, indeed, lends a precious seeing to the eye, and hearing to the ear: all sights and sounds are glorified by the light of its presence Picture Quote #1

Nothing is more satisfying than to write a good sentence. It is no fun to write lumpishly, dully, in prose the reader must plod through like wet sand. But it is a pleasure to achieve, if one can, a clear running prose that is simple yet full of surprises. This does not just happen. It requires skill, hard work, a good ear, and continued practice Picture Quote #1

A traveller must have the back of an ass to bear all, a tongue like the tail of a dog to flatter all, the mouth of a hog to eat what is set before him, the ear of a merchant to hear all and say nothing Picture Quote #1

The best servants of the people, like the best valets, must whisper unpleasant truths in the master’s ear. It is the court fool, not the foolish courtier, whom the king can least afford to lose Picture Quote #1

It’s better to wear seaweed socks than stick a melon in your brother’s ear Picture Quote #1

And with listening, too, it seems to me, it is not the ear that hears, it is not the physical organ that performs the act of inner receptivity. It is the total person who hears. Sometimes the skin seems to be the best listener, as it prickles and thrills, say to a sound or a silence; or the fantasy, the imagination: how it bursts into inner pictures as it listens and then responds by pressing its language, its forms, into the listening clay. To be open to what we hear, to be open in what we say Picture Quote #1

What you hear depends on how you focus your ear. We’re not talking about inventing a new language, but rather inventing new perceptions of existing languages Picture Quote #1

The ear plays the role of the guide in the museum in the concert I’m taking now. We don’t have an oral guide, we have to provide it ourselves. One reason why active listening is absolutely essential Picture Quote #1

The secret is, first, get a thoroughbred horse because they are the most nervous animals on earth. Then get the biggest gun you can find and make sure the starter fires that big gun right by the nervous thoroughbred’s ear Picture Quote #1

Spend your leisure time in cultivating an ear attentive to discourse, for in this way you will find that you learn with ease what others have found out with difficulty Picture Quote #1

We are coming into a new era of flight, an ear in which all past conception of time and distance is changing and changing at a very, very rapid rate Picture Quote #1

Symphonies can generate a tremendous amount of sounds, beauty, and emotion. That is part of their human feel and sweetness. Keyboards, on the other hand, give us access to millions of sounds. When I put the two together, the result is unique, and it’s not only pleasing to the ear, but produces emotional responses that neither of the two can achieve on their own Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to disappoint too many people, but the number of interesting political, historical conversations we had, you could stick in your ear, it wasn’t that many. We talked about friends, family and of course girls Picture Quote #1

If you want to play something that you hear, you need to listen with your mind’s eye. You’ve heard of the mind’s eye, right? Your mind has an ear too. It’s a kind of listening, but it’s not using your ears to listen. It’s listening with your inner ear, and that’s what you want to translate onto the guitar Picture Quote #1

... I do like the low frequencies. It’s from years and years of observing audiences when they hear a lower frequency coming from an instrument it tends to pull them in. You have to listen a little more attentively. High frequency instruments hit you so hard, after a while the ear has a tendency to want to shut down. And that’s what happens. I’ve been able to observe very carefully how people tend to get very tired of listening to high frequencies a lot Picture Quote #1

Anyone who has become entranced by the sound of water drops in the darkness of a ruin can attest to the extraordinary capacity of the ear to carve a volume into the void of darkness. The space traced by the ear becomes a cavity sculpted in the interior of the mind Picture Quote #1

Once more their weird laughter of the loons comes to my ear, the distance lends it a musical, melancholy sound. For a dangerous ledge off the lighthouse island floats in on the still air the gentle trolling of a warning bell as it swings on the rocking buoy; it might be tolling for the passing of summer and sweet weather with that persistent, pensive chime Picture Quote #1

We are often jealous of our little secrets, though to another ear they generally convey neither profit nor entertainment Picture Quote #1

Inspiration is hogwash. My work comes directly out of my loves and hates. Muses don’t whisper in my ear, and ideas don’t flow over my body like a cool rain Picture Quote #1

The more perfect the sight is the more delightful the beautiful object. The more perfect the appetite, the sweeter the food. The more musical the ear, the more pleasant the melody. The more perfect the soul, the more joyous the joys of heaven, and the more glorious that glory Picture Quote #1

For the joy of ear and eye, for the heart and mind’s delight, for the mystic harmony, linking sense to sound and sight; Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise Picture Quote #1

If you pick up a golfer and hold it close to your ear, like a conch shell, and listen, you will hear an alibi Picture Quote #1

That time of day when the sun hasn’t come up yet, but you can already feel it coming. It’s an elusive warmth, like a subtle promise whispered in your ear and you can go on with your day knowing you’ve been given another chance to get it right Picture Quote #1
