Instrument Quotes

If that condition of mind and soul, which we call inspiration, lasted long without intermission, no artist could survive it. The strings would break and the instrument be shattered into fragments Picture Quote #1

It happens very rarely, but when it happens it’s worth waiting for, that the instrument becomes part of your body Picture Quote #1

So long as we represent technology as an instrument, we remain held fast in the will to master it Picture Quote #1

The teacher who allows his scholars the freedom of the city of books is at liberty to be their guide, philosopher and friend; and is no longer the mere instrument of forcible intellectual feeding Picture Quote #1

I don’t think the drums are a solo instrument. Drums are there to set the beat for the music Picture Quote #1

There are a lot of guys out there with skills who have not contributed to the evolution of the instrument. It’s about more than that... it’s an emotive language, an aesthetic. Skill is an aspect, but it’s what you do with that skill, or say with that skill, that matters Picture Quote #1

People often say that blindness sharpens hearing, but I don’t think this is so. My ears were hearing no better, but I was making better use of them. Sight is a miraculous instrument offering us all the riches of physical life. But we get nothing in this world without paying for it, and in return for all the benefits that sight brings we are forced to give up others whose existence we don’t even suspect. These were the gifts I received in such abundance Picture Quote #1

A talent for speaking differently, rather than for arguing well is the chief instrument of cultural change Picture Quote #1

Briefly, in the act of composition, as an instrument there intervenes and is most potent, fire, flaming, fervid, hot; but in the very substance of the compound there intervenes, as an ingredient, as it is commonly called, as a material principle and as a constituent of the whole compound the material and principle of fire, not fire itself. This I was the first to call phlogiston Picture Quote #1

It wasn’t enough to be positive, focused and fearless, I had to take action! Musicians say that the hardest part of practicing is taking the instrument out of the case. To begin is to be half done! Picture Quote #1

Neighbors are far better acoustic analyzers for determining the quality of their life versus any acoustic instrument left unattended by an expert Picture Quote #1

He should avail himself of their resources in such ways as to advance the expression of the spirit in the life of mankind. He should use them so as to afford to every human being the greatest possible opportunity for developing and expressing his distinctively human capacity as an instrument of the spirit, as a centre of sensitive and intelligent awareness of the objective universe, as a centre of love of all lovely things, and of creative action for the spirit Picture Quote #1

A well trained body is a beautiful instrument on which to play the melody of the present moment Picture Quote #1

I’ve always had a fascination with making your own music but never have been skilled enough to play the instrument, so to be able to make music without the ability was awesome Picture Quote #1

The crime which is done now is that war has made a tool and slave of science, and man’s knowledge, painfully and laboriously compiled, is made the instrument of man’s destruction Picture Quote #1

The chief contribution of such a radically new and more powerful instrument would be, not to supplement our present ideas of the universe we live in, but rather to uncover new phenomena not yet imagined, and perhaps modify profoundly our basic concepts of space and time Picture Quote #1

I never really trained to be a musician, but I’ve been playing guitar since I was around, like, 13 years old. For me, the guitar has always been the instrument that I’ve played. I play a little piano. I taught myself everything by ear. I don’t read music at all, which has not really been a hindrance Picture Quote #1

Words should be employed as the means, not the end; language is the instrument, conviction is the work Picture Quote #1

Singing is near miraculous because it is the mastering of what is otherwise a pure instrument of egotism: the human voice Picture Quote #1

Putting a man in space is a stunt: the man can do no more than an instrument, in fact can do less. There are far more serious things to do than indulge in stunts... I do not discard completely the value of demonstrating to the world our skills. Nor do I undervalue the effect on morale of the spectacular. But the present hullabaloo on the propaganda aspects of the program leaves me entirely cool Picture Quote #1

The man, the writer, the instrument of the creation will die, but his creation does not die Picture Quote #1

The pen is an instrument of discovery rather than just a recording implement. If you write a letter of resignation or something with an agenda, you’re simply using a pen to record what you have thought out Picture Quote #1

What drew me to the violin was mastering the instrument technically, which I’m continuing to do Picture Quote #1

Well, my main instrument is violin, but I think of myself as a songwriter who happens to play violin Picture Quote #1

It’s like a whole orchestra, the piano for me. And also it’s to me the greatest instrument. I shouldn’t say that, but I believe that this is the only instrument I can really feel happy about playing Picture Quote #1

Most people learn to improvise on their own, listening to records, endless hours of noodling on their instrument in the bedroom with all their spare time. That’s traditionally how people learn Picture Quote #1

I actually think that bass is probably the instrument that has evolved in a quantum leap compared to other instruments. It’s the instrument that’s evolved the most, especially with how it’s perceived. And even how it’s played, and how it’s viewed from a point of view of commerce, like with the music industry Picture Quote #1

I wanted to play my violin and have my musical expression through the instrument. But then I was really young when I had my first opportunity to conduct Picture Quote #1

The clock, for all its precision in measurement, is a blunt instrument for the psyche and for society. Schedules can replace sensitivity to the mood of a moment, clock time can ride roughshod over the emotions of individuals Picture Quote #1

Don’t try to follow any trends, just concentrate on writing great songs and knowing your instrument. All the other stuff will fall into place Picture Quote #1
