Harp Quotes

I don’t harp on what I could change about the past, because I can’t go back and change it. But definitely a lot of things I would change Picture Quote #1

(As a boy) I was listening to Sonny Boy Williamson’s (I) records and I would close my eyes and I could visualize myself playing the harp Picture Quote #1

A lot of reality shows tend to harp on the negative. The person isn’t pretty enough or can’t sing well enough or maybe isn’t even funny enough Picture Quote #1

I was the first journalist allowed on a hunting boat during harp seal season in almost 15 years. Around the late 1970s, white coat pups became the poster child for the anti-fur movement, and by the 80s, the media was lambasting the hunters for killing them Picture Quote #1

So many people talk about the Golden Gate bridge, but I would bet they haven’t seen the new Sava River Bridge. It has long metal ropes suspending it, like a gigantic angel’s harp waiting for god’s fingers to reach down and pluck the first chords, to send a vibration of relief and love into the heart of Belgrade Picture Quote #1

The world is burdened with young fogies. Old men with ossified minds are easily dealt with. But men who look young, act young and everlastingly harp on the fact that they are young, but who nevertheless think and act with a degree of caution that would be excessive in their grandfathers, are the curse of the world. Their very conservatism is secondhand, and they don't know what they are conserving Picture Quote #1

My pen is my harp and my lyre; my library is my garden and my orchard Picture Quote #1

Celtic civilization was tribal, but by no means savage or uncultivated. People who regarded the theft of a harp from a bard as a crime second only to an attack on the tribal chieftain cannot be regarded as wanting in cultivated feeling Picture Quote #1

A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease. Every hidden cell is throbbing with music and life, every fiber thrilling like harp strings, while incense is ever flowing from the balsam bells and leaves. No wonder the hills and groves were God's first temples, and the more they are cut down and hewn into cathedrals and churches, the farther off and dimmer seems the Lord himself Picture Quote #1

But my body was like a harp and her words and gestures were like fingers running upon the wires Picture Quote #1

Each class preaches the importance of those virtues it need not exercise. The rich harp on the value of thrift, the idle grow eloquent over the dignity of labor Picture Quote #1

The language I have learnt these forty years, my native English, now I must forgo; and now my tongue's use is to me no more than an unstringed viol or a harp, or like a cunning instrument cased up or, being open, put into his hands that knows no touch to tune the harmony Picture Quote #1

Those who have virtue always in their mouths, and neglect it in practice, are like a harp, which emits a sound pleasing to others, while itself is insensible of the music Picture Quote #1

I recorded harp first or singing first. I recorded it all together. Part of the reason is that I don’t know how to play the songs without also singing. I forget how they progress. I don’t think that any of them are verse, chorus, verse, and so on. They are not simple Picture Quote #1

I don’t harp on what I could change about the past, because I can’t go back and change it. But definitely a lot of things I would change Picture Quote #1

It’s defeatist to harp on what might have been, and yet, it’s hard to resist considering what might have been Picture Quote #1

Why should I be polished and improved like goods for sale? I might not even want to marry! And besides, I have many skills. I can read and write and play the flute and harp. Why should I change to please some man? If he doesn’t like me the way I am, then he can get some other girl for his wife Picture Quote #1

Then I started checking out blues albums from the library and playing the harp along with them Picture Quote #1

Man becomes virtually an automaton in the loss of his individuality and responsibility. He is the harp of a thousand strings played upon by a divine hand, but not a man! Picture Quote #1

The harp sounds at each passing breeze, but that does not mean the tune is masterfully played Picture Quote #1

I never learned how to tune a harp, or play upon a lute; but I know how to raise a small and obscure city to glory and greatness... whereto all kindreds of the earth will pilgrim Picture Quote #1

Heaven is totally overrated. It seems boring. Clouds, listening to people play the harp. It should be somewhere you can’t wait to go, like a luxury hotel. Maybe blue skies and soft music were enough to keep people in line in the 17th century, but heaven has to step it up a bit. They’re basically getting by because they only have to be better than hell Picture Quote #1

We all share in the same cosmic rhythm... For all natural laws are like the rhythm of the strings of the harp Picture Quote #1

I grew up with a beautiful gold harp sitting in our living room. My older sister played it Picture Quote #1

People become house builders through building houses, harp players through playing the harp. We grow to be just by doing things which are just Picture Quote #1

I did not know whether I would ever speak to her or not or, if I spoke to her, how I could tell her of my confused adoration. But my body was like a harp and her words and gestures were like fingers running upon the wires Picture Quote #1

Your body is the harp of your soul and it is yours to bring forth sweet music from it or confused sounds Picture Quote #1
