Tried Quotes

My stepfather met my mother when I was seven years old, and he was a guitar player. So he caught me messing with his guitar, his electric guitar, and he tried to show me some chords, but my hands were too small Picture Quote #1

The Marshall guitar amplifier doesn’t just get louder when you turn it up. It distorts the sound to produce a whole range of new harmonics, effectively turning a plucked string instrument into a bowed one. A responsible designer might try to overcome this limitation - probably the engineers at Marshall tried, too. But that sound became the sound of, among others, Jimi Hendrix. That sound is called electric guitar Picture Quote #1

In India, I have been called a ‘destroyer.’ But that is only because they mixed my identity as a performer and as a composer. As a composer I have tried everything, even electronic music and avant-garde. But as a performer I am, believe me, getting more classical and more orthodox, jealously protecting the heritage that I have learned Picture Quote #1

Had Elijah Muhammad tried to introduce an orthodox form of Arab-oriented Islam, I doubt if he would have attracted 500 people, but he introduced a form of Islam that would communicate with the people he had to deal with. He was the king to those who had no king, and he was the messiah to those some people thought unworthy of a messiah Picture Quote #1

Embracing failure is the most important trait I’ve developed in my career. I have tried to learn from my failures, and I believe it has made me stronger, more confident and more resilient Picture Quote #1

I’ve tried to maintain a healthy image but not necessarily a size because as women, we’re all different sizes. I go for being the healthy size; whatever that is for you. It’s important to embrace that and love your body for what it is. Each woman has her own body Picture Quote #1

In my early work, I tried to hide my personality, my psychological state, my emotions. This was partly due to my feelings about myself and party due to my feelings about painting at the time. I sort of stuck to my guns for a while but eventually it seemed like a losing battle. Finally one must simply drop the reserve Picture Quote #1

Players would empty their souls to me; you cannot fathom the stories I’ve heard, everything from the good to the bad. I tried whatever I could to work things out Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I have ever tried to create things to encourage people to hurt others, or themselves Picture Quote #1

I tried piano, acting, and a bunch of things. My family let me do what I wanted to do; they made sure I had balance in my life because I was self-driven. Listen to your kid, encourage them, and make it fun Picture Quote #1

At this point, I feel like I can allow myself to be goofy and take more risks, and even if I do fall on my face, I know it’s not the end of the world and at least I tried to do something different Picture Quote #1

In the very beginning I tried to actualise way too many ideas. The end result was not as healthy a ratio for satisfaction as the current, more mysterious one Picture Quote #1

When I met Dante I didn’t work in the movies, but I enjoyed so much the movies. I worked in interior design and when I met Dante, we tried to do something together Picture Quote #1

I had been taught that the separation between religion and politics happened in the Enlightenment. But there were people who tried to create a secular relationship to government 2,000 years ago, and those people were the Jews Picture Quote #1

I’ve tried to stay true to myself this whole entire time, and I think I’ve represented myself as creatively as I could with what I got on the show Picture Quote #1

As a public person, I’ve always tried to reflect what is embodied in our defining ideals as a nation about equality and fairness and justice and so forth Picture Quote #1

I went out of my way to try not to be an artist, because I thought I would end up leading a miserable, obscure life. I tried to escape it for as long as I could, until I had to admit at 25 that that was my path Picture Quote #1

The question I’m always asking myself is: are we masters or victims? Do we make history, or does history make us? Do we shape the world, or are we just shaped by it? The question of do we have agency in our lives or whether we are just passive victims of events is, I think, a great question, and one that I have always tried to ask Picture Quote #1

When she was in United States, we maintained contact, we talked to each other on the phone, almost every night. And there was one occasion I tried to fix this video conferencing but somehow it did not come out very well enough so better to talk on the phone Picture Quote #1

I never liked the bar scene. I tried to like it. I would give it a try every three or four months. I’d think, tonight I’m going out. But I never met anybody in that circumstance Picture Quote #1

Everyone feels guilty before a mother who has lost her son in a war; throughout human history men have tried in vain to justify themselves Picture Quote #1

I learned to draw everything except glamorous women. No matter how much I tried to make them look sexy, they always ended up looking silly... or like somebody’s mother Picture Quote #1

Throughout my life, I have tried to share my philosophy that getting and staying healthy doesn’t have to feel like work. I don’t diet or slave away in a gym - what I do is make excellent food choices Picture Quote #1

Without any intended hubris, I’ve lead a pretty exciting life. What I’ve tried to do in Mission Compromised is draw on those experiences to create a sense of excitement and realism within the story Picture Quote #1

As President Franklin Delano Roosevelt learned when he tried to pack the Supreme Court, the three branches of government are coequal for a reason. Neither the executive branch or the legislative branch should use the third branch to a pursue a partisan agenda Picture Quote #1

Here’s my answer to the very real existential crisis that grips me midway through everything I’ve ever tried to do: I think stories help us fight the nihilistic urges that constantly threaten to consume us Picture Quote #1

No blame can be attached to the army for its failure to accomplish what was projected by me... I alone am to blame, in perhaps expecting too much of its prowess and valor... could I have foreseen that the attack on the last day would fail, I should certainly have tried some other course... but I do not know what better course I could have pursued Picture Quote #1

I have friends who’ve tried to break into the UK, who went back with their tails between their legs. Fortunately I’ve had the opposite experience Picture Quote #1

As a woman, I have tried to take advantage of the extra access I have in the Muslim world: with Muslim women, for example. Many people underestimate women in that part of the world because, typically, they don’t work Picture Quote #1

None of this ‘different diets’ lark. I can’t remember the last time I tried some new fad Picture Quote #1
