Electric Quotes

My cousin gave me a twin-neck electric guitar for one of my birthdays. It was amazing. Even though it was mine, I was never allowed to pick it up Picture Quote #1

Without the Fender bass, there’d be no rock n’ roll or no Motown. The electric guitar had been waiting ‘round since 1939 for a nice partner to come along. It became an electric rhythm section, and that changed everything Picture Quote #1

My parents got me a $25 Kent steel-string acoustic guitar when I was around 12. The following Christmas, my parents bought me a Conora electric guitar. It looked almost like a Gretsch. It cost $59, and my mom still has it Picture Quote #1

My stepfather met my mother when I was seven years old, and he was a guitar player. So he caught me messing with his guitar, his electric guitar, and he tried to show me some chords, but my hands were too small Picture Quote #1

My stepfather had an electric guitar. He went to his pawn store one day to get a guitar and an amp, and I couldn’t understand what I was hearing. All afternoon, I just sat against the amp and let it reverberate through me. Something must have stuck Picture Quote #1

If I sit down with an electric guitar, what’s going to come out are Sabbath/Zeppelin type riffs, but if I’m sitting behind a piano late at night, I might write something like ‘Desperado.’ You’re not going to write ‘Desperado’ between a wall of Marshalls and thumping, crushing volume Picture Quote #1

My Portuguese uncle had a Portuguese version of a ukulele. The family would pull it out after dinner and play Portuguese folk songs on it. I couldn’t wait for him to finish so I could get my hands on it. I was seven or eight years old. And he used to have a Fender amp in his house and an electric guitar. I would spend hours making sounds Picture Quote #1

The Marshall guitar amplifier doesn’t just get louder when you turn it up. It distorts the sound to produce a whole range of new harmonics, effectively turning a plucked string instrument into a bowed one. A responsible designer might try to overcome this limitation - probably the engineers at Marshall tried, too. But that sound became the sound of, among others, Jimi Hendrix. That sound is called electric guitar Picture Quote #1

Sometimes [people] seem to think I came out of the womb, you know, cursing, with an electric guitar Picture Quote #1

Of course the folk guitar is the one I play very often, but I wanted a more electric sound Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been at war with the guitar. All vocalists are fighting a war with the electric rhythm guitar Picture Quote #1

We play loud electric guitar music, and we’d hope that that doesn’t mean you have to act like an asshole Picture Quote #1

The electric guitar was vital in helping what I’ve achieved where would I be without it? Playing awfully quietly, for a start Picture Quote #1

If it works for the piece of music, I’m going to use it. I don’t want to be limited any more than [Bob] Dylan wanted to be limited by not using an electric guitar Picture Quote #1

I compare the Twist to the electric light, The Twist is me, and I’m it. I’m the electric light Picture Quote #1

A street full of electric light is a sign of civic failure and is an insulting injury to the soul. Shutting out the night is as disastrous as shutting out the light Picture Quote #1

We are striking it big in the electric light, better than my vivid imagination first conceived. Where this thing is going to stop Lord only knows Picture Quote #1

I once saw a small child go to an electric light switch as say, Mamma, can I open the light? She was using the age-old language of exploration, the language of art Picture Quote #1

The fuel cell is just a fundamentally inferior way of delivering electrical energy to an electric motor than batteries Picture Quote #1

For under certain conditions the chemical atoms emit light waves of a specific length or oscillation frequency - their familiar characteristic spectra - and these can come in the form of electromagnetic waves only from accelerated electric quanta Picture Quote #1

Neither Elizabeth or I are keen to do a real-life couple on the screen. It’s not very electric Picture Quote #1

All the time that I’m acting with an animated character, I’m looking at a tennis ball or sticky tape or an eyeline or a man in a green suit. There’s no real environment, just this electric green that’s blaring into your brain Picture Quote #1

Our kiss was electric and soft,and tentative and certain,terrifying and exactly right.I felt the love rush from me to Gat and from Gat to me.We were warm and shivering,and young and ancient,and alive.I was thinking, It’s true. We already love each other.We already do Picture Quote #1

What’s funny in ‘The Mayor of MacDougal Street’ is how Dave Van Ronk talks a lot about the time and how exciting it was and how electric it was Picture Quote #1

General Electric, NBC’s parent, is one of the largest corporations in the world, with an anti-labor history of outsourcing jobs and with financial links to military and nuclear power industries Picture Quote #1

One more secret smile. One more shared laugh. One more electric kiss. Finding him was like finding someone I didn’t know I was searching for Picture Quote #1

When I was 15 years old, my cousin and I formed a singing group called The Altaires. And, because we became the most popular singing group in the Tri-State area, the rest of the group convinced me I should play the guitar - even though I didn’t own one! So what happened was, my stepfather actually made my first electric guitar for me for $23! Picture Quote #1

The first drafts of my novels have all been written in longhand, and then I type them up on my old electric. I have resisted getting a computer because I distrust the whole PC thing. I don’t think a great book has yet been written on computer Picture Quote #1

I don’t need a diet pill. I need something that gives you an electric shock when you reach for food Picture Quote #1

I’m a ‘frotteur,’ someone who likes to rub words in his hand, to turn them around and feel them, to wonder if that really is the best word possible. Does that word in this sentence have any electric potential? Does it do anything? Too much electricity will make your reader’s hair frizzy. There’s a question of pacing Picture Quote #1
