Lute Quotes

Longing alone is singer to the lute Picture Quote #1

As the strings of a lute are apart though they quiver the same music Picture Quote #1

You can have a silence full of words. A lute retains, in its bowl, the notes it has played. The viol, in its strings, holds a concord. A shriveled petal can hold its scent, a prayer can rattle with curses; an empty house, when the owners have gone out, can still be loud with ghosts Picture Quote #1

In a sadly pleasing strain, let the warbling lute complain Picture Quote #1

He stops, looks up at this window, and I can see the white oblong of his face. We look at each other. I have no rose to toss, he has no lute. But it’s the same kind of hunger Picture Quote #1

If you thought Stairway to Heaven was a long song, dear God you should listen to it played on a lute Picture Quote #1

It is the little rift within the lute, that by and by will make the music mute Picture Quote #1

Better a dish of husks to the accompaniment of a muted lute than to be satiated with stewed shark’s fin and rich spiced wine of which the cost is frequently mentioned by the provider 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 inconsiderable city to glory and greatness Picture Quote #1

Monks, we who look at the whole and not just the part, know that we too are systems of interdependence, of feelings, perceptions, thoughts, and consciousness all interconnected. Investigating in this way, we come to realize that there is no me or mine in any one part, just as a sound does not belong to any one part of the lute Picture Quote #1

As in no other form of lute or combat, the conditions are such; the winner takes nothing, neither his ease, nor his pleasure, nor any notion of glory, nor if he wins far enough, will he find anything within himself Picture Quote #1

Let there be spaces in your togetherness... just as strings of a lute dance alone though they quiver with the same music Picture Quote #1

In my opinion if you have a secret compartment in your lute case and don’t use it to hide things, there is something terribly, terribly wrong with you Picture Quote #1

And is not the lute that soothes your spirit the very wood that was hollowed with knives? Picture Quote #1

Leisure was the sine qua non of the full Renaissance. The feudal nobility, having lost its martial function, sought diversion all over Europe in cultivated pastimes: sonneteering, the lute, games and acrostics, travel, gentlemanly studies and sports, hunting and hawking, treated as arts 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

I’m also pretty impressive when I’m shoving the neck of a lute into someone’s chest cavity Picture Quote #1

Happiness is to take up the struggle in the midst of the raging storm and not to pluck the lute in the moonlight or recite poetry among the blossoms Picture Quote #1

As sweet and musical as bright Apollo's lute, strung with his hair; and when love speaks, the voice of all the gods makes heaven drowsy with the harmony Picture Quote #1

Orpheus' lute was strung with poets' sinews; whose golden touch could soften steel and stones; make tigers tame and huge leviathans Forsake unsounded deeps to dance on sands Picture Quote #1

O, had the monster seen those lily hands Tremble like aspen leafs upon a lute and make the silken strings delight to kiss them, he would not then have touched them for his life Picture Quote #1

Orpheus, with his lute, made trees and the mountain tops that freeze bow themselves, when he did sing Picture Quote #1
