Instrument Quotes

First, by the figurations of art there be made instruments of navigation without men to row them, as great ships to brooke the sea, only with one man to steer them, and they shall sail far more swiftly than if they were full of men; also chariots that shall move with unspeakable force without any living creature to stir them. Likewise an instrument may be made to fly withall if one sits in the midst of the instrument, and do turn an engine, by which the wings, being artificially composed, may beat the air after the manner of a flying bird Picture Quote #1

While most of the music I write is instrumental, I love to use the human voice as another instrument Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been one that thinks that the function of an instrument is to approach the purity of voice or the structure of a beautifully sung line Picture Quote #1

Having a body that is like a musical instrument, open enough to be able to resonate, literally resonate with what is coming both from the inside and from the outside, so that one is able to surrender to powers greater than oneself Picture Quote #1

Whereas life separates meaning from emotion, art unites them. Story is an instrument by which you create such epiphanies at will, the phenomenon known as aesthetic emotion... Life on its own, without art to shape it, leaves you in confusion and chaos, but aesthetic emotion harmonizes what you know with what you feel to give you a heightened awareness and a sureness of your place in reality Picture Quote #1

You’d find out more truth by just walking down the street with a musical instrument than by looking at any of the news outlets Picture Quote #1

Famine was quite deliberately employed as an instrument of national policy, as the last means of breaking the resistance of the peasantry to the new system where they are divorced from personal ownership of the land and obligated to work on the conditions which the state may demand from them... This famine may fairly be called political because it was not the result of any overwhelming natural catastrophe or such complete exhaustions of the country’s resources in foreign and civil wars 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

Some of the most remarkable and profound worship encounters I’ve experienced have happened in churches with no production, no lighting, no exciting visuals or amplification, sometimes with not even a single musical instrument Picture Quote #1

The aim of scientific thought, then, is to apply past experience to new circumstances; the instrument is an observed uniformity in the course of events. By the use of this instrument it gives us information transcending our experience, it enables us to infer things that we have not seen from things that we have seen; and the evidence for the truth of that information depends on our supposing that the uniformity holds good beyond our experience Picture Quote #1

After all, if there is no class stratification in a society, it follows that there is no state, because the state arose as an instrument to be used by a particular class to control the rest of society in its own interests Picture Quote #1

What is a memory? Not a storehouse, not a trunk in the attic, but an instrument that constantly refines the past into a narrative, accessible and acceptable to oneself Picture Quote #1

To me, all guitar players can play, because I know they’re getting to where they’re at. It’s a very hard instrument to accept, because it takes years to start working with it, that’s first, and it looks like everybody else is moving on the instrument but you. Then when you find a cat that’s really playing, you always find that he’s been playing a long time, you can’t get around it Picture Quote #1

Man is the only creature disposed to kill huge numbers of members of his own species, and his instrument is usually the state Picture Quote #1

Do one thing every day that scares you... Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don’t be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own... Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth Picture Quote #1

The piano is a divinely inspired instrument, a mirror held up to its player’s soul that captures the light and shadow of the performer and reflects them back to the listener Picture Quote #1

A photographer’s main instrument is his eyes. Strange as it may seem, many photographers choose to use the eyes of another photographer, past or present, instead of their own. Those photographers are blind Picture Quote #1

As an instrument of planetary home repair, it is hard to imagine anything as safe as a tree Picture Quote #1

It is the old experience that a rude instrument in the hand of a master craftsman will achieve more than the finest tool wielded by the uninspired journeyman Picture Quote #1

Propaganda will never die out. Intelligent men must realize that propaganda is the modern instrument by which they can fight for productive ends and help to bring order out of chaos Picture Quote #1

The essence in obedience consists in the fact that a person comes to view himself as an instrument for carrying out another person’s wishes and he therefore no longer regards himself as responsible for his actions Picture Quote #1

Inasmuch as it’s a culture, cinema is the only thing at our disposal with which we can recognize ourselves in today’s images. As an instrument it’s inevitably inadequate, but it’s the only one Picture Quote #1

The fibers of all things have their tension and are strained like the strings of an instrument Picture Quote #1

Electric light is just another instrument. I have no desire to contrive fantasies mediumistically or sociologically over it or beyond it Picture Quote #1

Language is the main instrument of man’s refusal to accept the world as it is Picture Quote #1

Alow immortality to work through you. Be but a mere instrument. And that instrument should be so absorbed in the perfect perfection of existence, that it knows not even that it is absorbed Picture Quote #1

Nothing tends so much to the advancement of knowledge as the application of a new instrument. The native intellectual powers of men in different times are not so much the causes of the different success of their labours, as the peculiar nature of the means and artificial resources in their possession Picture Quote #1

I think music is an instrument. It can create the initial thought patterns that can change the thinking of people Picture Quote #1

In the awakened state, the mind is either perfectly silent or it is a perfectly clear instrument of expression Picture Quote #1

Man lives consciously for himself, but is an unconscious instrument in the attainment of the historic, universal, aims of humanity Picture Quote #1
