Instrument Quotes

To play the drums, you have to spread your legs and use your arms. It’s a very physical instrument to play. It’s not feminine Picture Quote #1

The work of art ... is an instrument for tilling the human psyche, that it may continue to yield a harvest of vital beauty Picture Quote #1

I started playing violin in the 5th grade. They had a program in school where you could get out of class to go play instruments. So I raised my hand, left out of class, me and a bunch of my homeboys, just to get out of class for that day. They asked what instrument you wanted to play and I picked the violin Picture Quote #1

So, for instance, if you came to me, I’d ask, ‘Do you want to write? Do you want to improvise? Why do you want to play this instrument? What do you want to do?’ Picture Quote #1

I just enjoy calculating, and it’s an instrument I know how to play. It’s almost an athletic performance, in a way. I was just watching the Olympics, and that’s how I feel when proving a theorem Picture Quote #1

Attention is the fundamental instrument we use for learning, thinking, communicating, deciding, yet neither parents nor schools spend any time helping young people learn how to manage information streams and control the ways they deploy their attention Picture Quote #1

You would never do stand-up without an audience. I mean, no one would even consider it. It’s like they’re the instrument you’re playing Picture Quote #1

Music has always been in my family, but it was mainly keyboards. I learned to play classical piano, but when I first heard the amazing bass guitar of James Jamerson, who played on all the big Motown hits of the 60s and 70s, I knew bass guitar was my instrument Picture Quote #1

At the time, I didn’t know that bass would not be enough for me. I’m not a bass player because bass is always a background instrument even to this very day 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

The Lord did not people the earth with a vibrant orchestra of personalities only to value the piccolos of the world. Every instrument is precious and adds to the complex beauty of the symphony Picture Quote #1

We know truth for the cruel instrument it is. Beauty is infinitely preferable to truth Picture Quote #1

In the beginning of my twenties, I started transcendental meditation. For years, I did nothing else. Every holiday, I went to courses. Meditation is a real simple instrument. You don’t need a long beard or a sari. It’s meant to bring you to yourself. It’s as easy as that Picture Quote #1

You get to the point where you have to wash the dishes. That’s the fun in life. Being behind the scenes and doing things for others; being an instrument of that cause. That is the secret teaching Picture Quote #1

I will never be good at the oboe. No matter what happens, I will never be good at it because I just don’t have that much time on my hands. I don’t have the gift of going back to being a child and having my brain develop around this instrument Picture Quote #1

Composing for the prepared piano is not a criticism of the instrument. I’m only being practical Picture Quote #1

The human body is not an instrument to be used, but a realm of one’s being to be experienced, explored, enriched and, thereby, educated Picture Quote #1

Being in a band is far more than playing an instrument. It’s surviving. It’s getting an album together Picture Quote #1

I found early on in teaching, if you’re too blunt an instrument, the students discredit you and think you’re just being mean. They’re not interested in what you have to say Picture Quote #1

Besides being a guitar player, I’m a big fan of the guitar. I love that damn instrument Picture Quote #1

Since the human mind is the primary weapon of the human being, it is also therefore the primary and most significant instrument of violence Picture Quote #1

Force, governmental coercion, is the instrument by which the ethics of altruism - the belief that the individual exists to serve others - is translated into political reality Picture Quote #1

I write in my study, where I also have my prayer altar. I believe that keeps me focused and gives me positive energy and reminds me that I’m merely the instrument of greater creative forces Picture Quote #1

A constitution, in the American sense of the word, is a written instrument by which the fundamental powers of the government are established, limited, and defined, and by which these powers are distributed among several departments, for their more safe and useful exercise, for the benefit of the body politic Picture Quote #1

The best music happens when you have a personal connection to it. That same philosophy can extend to the instrument you hold in your hands: if a guitar means something special, you’re bound to do great things with it Picture Quote #1

I still have a photo on my wall of the greatest idol I will ever have in my life, and it’s myself at eight. Because that’s when the forces of imagination have the same value as the real world, when they’re an instrument of survival: when my mother disappeared, and I imagined a mother. That was me at my best Picture Quote #1

Science is far from a perfect instrument of knowledge. It’s just the best we have Picture Quote #1

My favorite sound is definitely mules. If it was an instrument, it’s really pingthe touch of the black keys of the piano Picture Quote #1

The guitar is such an incredible instrument; it plays classical, flamenco, jazz, country, bluegrass, rock, acid, blues. You’ll never see a clarinet playing Black Sabbath. But you will see a guitar in a clarinet band playing rhythm. It is the most popular instrument in the world; it is the one everybody loves Picture Quote #1

For the piano and me it is always a blind date! I meet different pianos every single day. I can’t take my piano with me like a bassist can take his instrument. So whenever I arrive I am a bit nervous to see what kind of piano is waiting for me Picture Quote #1
