Sounds Quotations | Page 5

Just as my fingers on the keys / Make music, so the selfsame sounds / On my spirit make a music, too. / Music is feeling, then, not sound.

Japan faces problems of decreasing population, an aging society and increasing national debts. Mr. Koizumi sounds as if life will be all rosy if the postal service is privatized, but no one takes what he says seriously.

I think everyone will be back; that's what it sounds like right now. Hopefully everybody is going to be back. I think we could come back and have a special team.

I remember when I took the role on E.R., I thought, 'I haven't really been able to play a working class woman. I've played girls, I've played funny, but I haven't played a working class woman. That sounds like something I'd like to do.'

People are always saying 'Dude, he sounds like Kip,' ... That's because I frickin' played him.

Our first record didn't come out on vinyl, so I think that might have had something to do with actually being in a position to make sure that it came out in vinyl this time. It sounds way better.

Overall, it sounds pretty responsible. There's definitely more questions than answers on this issue ... but I'm pleased with the results of the study.

RIME, n. Agreeing sounds in the terminals of verse, mostly bad. The verses themselves, as distinguished from prose, mostly dull. Usually (and wickedly) spelled ""rhyme.

Rock guitar has been around for decades now, and there are so many strong traditions, and so much of it is just burned into my fingers. So, nine times out of 10, when I pick up the guitar to jam something, it sounds pretty cliche.

Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Really, when you think about what these guys are spending on racing fuel, the base price sounds expensive, but they're really not buying much each week and it's probably one of the cheapest things in their budget, ... Say the price did go up a dollar or two dollars. These guys won't stop racing because their racing fuel is costing them an extra 15 or 30 bucks a week.

Relationships last a helluva lot longer and feel alot better than orgasms do. Pick the one that sounds better.

Part of the pleasure of being a writer is that you get to go to unexpected places. If a place sounds interesting, I like to go.

PBHG is a momentum shop, ... Here (at Merrill) he's got the chance to build his own team. It sounds good, but it's a bit of a challenge. You have to adapt to a new culture.

Suffice it to say, every actor works differently. Laurence Olivier would put on his costume and when the wardrobe was right, he was in character. That sounds superficial, but it's true, and look at the results.

Sports is a game. You need to play by the rules. If the rules aren't being followed, that to me sounds like cheating. But that's not a medical problem. Barry Bonds doesn't look like he's ready for the nursing home, ... I think a lot more science needs to be done to verify what we should do.

Some have called for a dignified process. So have I. But at times, it sounds like what some really want for the nominee is an easy process,

That $27,000 that a young player will now get just for making the main draw at the Australian Open is huge. It can set them up for a couple of months which at that level you really do need that kind of help. It sounds like a lot of money, but when you're travelling the world trying to make it as a tennis player, it doesn't last long.

My parents loved music, and my father would come home with cassette tapes of Chic and the Village People and Barbra Streisand. We had all these sounds always going. We never had somber music - always upbeat.

My mum especially listens to music in a way that is incredibly feelings-based. There's virtually no snobbery about what sounds are in it, she just wants to hear a song and that is quite refreshing.

Nationally we think it's impossible to say exactly when we've reached full employment. But it sounds like in Florida you're there.

My voice is very special. People either love it or they're like, 'What's wrong with this girl? She looks 16 and sounds like a hooker!'

My violin is called Kylie as she sounds great and is perfectly formed.

My purpose as an artist is to heal the divided feminine in our culture. Well, okay wait, that sounds incredibly cheesy and like something a massage therapist might do at Esalen.

Look at some of the names on this club: Ryan , O'Brien , McNeil , Leahy , Sweeney ... sounds like a law firm.

Mara has a personality that can handle that because it changes every single day. Lots of designers think it sounds exciting, but it's very high pressure.

'Lip Lock' is a play on words. It sounds flirty and fun. Also, my lips are one of my favorite features. Also, it's like, literally locking the game down with my words because I'm a lyricist.

Lion sounds that have not grown from the mouse may exude naked power... but cannot convey any wisdom or understanding... The initial steps on the path to courageous speech then are the first tentative steps into the parts of us that cannot speak.

Listen to the sounds around you. Listen to the noise. Listen to the excitement. Because that's going to be you pretty soon.

My mother's Puerto Rican and my father's Russian-Jewish, so we consider ourselves to be Jewricans or Puertojews. I think Puertojew sounds like a kosher bathroom, so I prefer Jewrican.

It feels like and it sounds like the momentum they have with the new products is now starting to turn in to revenue. This was really the first quarter that we heard users start to buy and upgrade older systems.

I still see lots of things we can fine-tune. I think we're slowly but surely getting a little bit tighter and executing better. It sounds funny, when you're 11-and-0, but we've played some bad stretches of basketball and still been able to overcome that. Our goal is to eliminate that and become more consistent.

I think of the sights and sounds and mad rushes of feeling and sensations that come over you all at once when you're in New York,

I think one of the most courageous things about Joaquin in that scene is that he sounds not perfect, not at all. He's not brilliant from the get-go, but he's got so much room to grow. And we grow Johnny Cash in the movie - until, by the end, he's awesome!

I think I may be in - potentially - three classics. That sounds like I'm bragging.

I suppose the mindset for a band show is more that you overpower the audience. That sounds rather totalitarian, doesn't it?

John sounds like a different guy. The kids are just deliriously happy.

Just hearing all the parts come together just making one sound, sounds beautiful.

It is definitely the way things are going, but a year-end target sounds a bit aggressive. You have the currency issues and the accounting issues and you still have the regulatory issues, and in some countries there are issues about foreign ownership on stock. I think it's a lot easier to have foreign investors buying U.S. stocks rather than the other way around.

Man, sounds like fun. Don't you usually give 'em just one chicken dinner? That's a pretty good return for $2,000.

We live in the country. Occasionally I hear sounds at night, so naturally I send my wife downstairs to check it out whilst I hide in the cupboard.

The 20-0 sounds good, and I'm not complaining at all about it, but we wasted about seven and a half or eight minutes before got to the scouting report offense.

That would mean one in every 13 residents is Hispanic. It sounds too high.

That will always be my music, man. I play 'Kind of Blue' every day -- it's my orange juice. It still sounds like it was made yesterday.

That's the intention - at least talking to their agents, it sounds like both would like to be back, and we'd like to have them both back.

That's us using our speed; we're able to make hits like that. It was a clean hit and it sounds like he's going to be alright, so that's the main thing.

That's this new kid Governor, he sounds just like Marvin Gaye. And he's like only 23. We have another kid, Prolific.

I would never sing in public. Because I've got a horrible voice. It just sounds bad. I mean, Tea claims to like to hear me sing, and I think it's because I enjoy it so much. We sing in the car ... And she air-drums. This is why we have tinted windows. A lot of people think it's because we don't want people to see us and follow us home, but it's really because we're making fools of ourselves.

I would like that. That sounds good to me.

My best monster bass sounds have come from FM8. People think they all come from Massive, but most of the ones that kids online are trying to recreate in Massive are actually from FM8. I also really like Sylenth1, my Tone2 Gladiator and some other granular soft synths as well.

My best feature would have to be my hair. That sounds so cliche - but my hair is like a separate entity.

My children did not go through a stage of being rude to their parents. I'm sorry if that sounds incredible.

My childhood growing up in that part of Glasgow always sounds like some kind of sub-Catherine Cookson novel of earthy working-class immigrant life, which to some extent it was, but it wasn't really as colourful that.

Who Is Jill Scott? Words & Sounds Vol. 1,

We haven't really sat down as a team or individually and said, 'What are we going to do now that Pops is gone?'? Throughout the entire season, it's what are we going to do as team, how are we going to play team defense? It's never been about an individual player. It sounds funny to say. People say it all the time, but that is really how we are.

You can have a network of 20 or 30 clubs across different continents, all of which have a corrupt element. It sounds a bit like science fiction. It would involve agents, owners, sponsors. ... They would not just rig the results of one or two games, but 15 matches or a series of results.

You'll get these studies; often the problem is trying to replicate them. It all sounds great on the surface, but when it comes to having a body of carefully controlled evaluation, it's hard to prove that these things do work.

Where we were you could hear all the life of Baghdad, all the sounds of Baghdad outside, and that was another world.

Whining's unattractive, even when your whine sounds like Kenneth Branagh eating frozen strawberries with a silver fork.

We can't certify them until they're ready for occupancy. Right now, 5 percent of the new commercial construction market is building to the LEED standards. Five percent sounds like a small number, but when you look at it in terms of square footage, it's 243 million square feet.

We'll be playing new stuff on Monday. It sounds like Mow town with other things mixed in.

When it comes to hitting solid drives, the secret is to swing within yourself. I know that sounds like a cliche, but it's true. If you swing at 100 miles per hour and hit it on the toe, you won't hit the ball as far as you would with an 80-mph swing that catches the ball in the center of the clubface.

When it sounds too bad to be true, Oprah, dry your eyes and check the facts.

We can see lots of evidence why those people could have heard very loud sounds that could have sounded like explosions.

We can't be certain of everything operating at current high numbers, ... We can't count on one-year results to make heavy spending announcements. As politically great as it sounds it wouldn't be responsible financial management.

We do what we love and there's not any intimidation at all. We've played with other bands that have nothing in common with sounds that we do, and people seem to like it.

We're always into that. It breaks down the wall between the band and the audience. It's a dream come true for the people who get onstage, but also for the people who watch it because they're seeing somebody who is one of their own. Sometimes it turns out great, sometimes it's a complete disaster. But even when it sounds bad, it's sometimes even better because there's a certain charm to it.

We have to support each other's tired nerves, I know that sounds so Pollyanna, but really... Mommy groups can be amazing, but haven't you ever gone to one and felt like you are back in high school, totally on the outside of the 'cool kids' club? I totally have!

We hope every year that this is going to be the one. I can't wait for the derby. It sounds cocky to say you expect to win, but I'm going with the idea that we have a pretty good horse.

We have to play the sounds the audience hears. It has to be easy to decipher. And it seems like a simple concept, but it's so important. Not playing live really hurts the image of electronic music. It bugs us when people don't put any thought into their live performances.

You always want to do that. But that wasn't necessarily the strategy. But I do think you're always trying to take it to the next level. We've been working on it for months. Hopefully if it sounds like a burst of good songs, that's fine. I'll take that.

We essentially need to increase the awareness of this problem it sounds a little less dangerous if you haven't seen it for yourself, but it really is pretty scary to see these kids potentially getting hurt from this situation, and we need help from these students' parents and families to tell them that they shouldn't put themselves in so much danger just to take a shortcut,

We're always attempting to balance the sounds of the race with our commentators' voices to give viewers the best experience possible. It's something we're very aware of and something that we're always trying to improve.

Well, it's a laudable goal. But it sounds extraordinarily expensive, which leads us to believe that a massive tax increase is under way. That's how he solves every state issue.

Well what's wrong with ain't? And as for saying 'Rizzuto slud into second' it just ain't natural. Sounds silly to me. Slud is something more than slid. It means sliding with great effort.

We name all the songs by listening to what it sounds like (and coming up with something). We have lots of songs and lots of names.

When you're listening to radio and hear the same 20 songs over and over and over, you want a break from it. Sometimes you don't want to hear something that sounds just like everything else on the radio. Eventually, if you hear the same sounds and the same musicians and the same mixes and all of that, it will start to sound like elevator music.

We have a gaff-rigged topsail cutter, which sounds much grander than she really is, but she's exquisitely beautiful and shamefully slow and we spend a lot of time aboard when we can.

We wanted to make an album that sounds like our band, and not a heady, self-conscious studio project. Everyone tells us rock and roll is a shadow of itself--a sad old milk cow smiling at the farmer every morning. We still see a bucking bull smashing around the stable.

virtually a living recording of the musical sounds heard hundreds of years ago.

Usually, when I'm rappin', I'm creating a big story or a concept song that sounds like a movie to me.

With the temperature the way it is this time of year, anything from the refrigerator sounds so much more appealing than something from the oven.

Three for nine sounds better, huh? I would say the reason is that I have started to prepare better for these tournaments and that I am in better control of my game now.

Three cents sounds good. We do have a surplus and we should do something about the surplus and this is a way of giving something back to the taxpayers.

Today's report should convince most market participants that the March softness in the data was primarily a one-month phenomenon. Sounds like a recipe for continued 25 basis-point rate hikes for the foreseeable future.

Today's report is both an alarm clock and a road map. It sounds an urgent wake-up call about the risks of our couch-potato culture,

Yeah, totally! I think you've nailed it! You know, I don't think SOULFLY sounds like SEPULTURA , myself. I think it's just that whole connection that people have with Max . I think it's just like a vibe thing with most fans. But I consider myself a fan of music first, and I agree with you. You know, I definitely think SOULFLY sounds like SOULFLY , and I think that SOULFLY is more of a groove-oriented band. As opposed to SEPULTURA , which was really thrashy and pretty much straight metal. I mean 'Roots' was a really groovy record, and half the songs on that were really groovy, but I think that that was a natural progression of the way that Max was writing at the time. And then, as opposed to the way we do stuff now.

You know, this sounds so random, but I would rent out all the rooms in the Madonna Inn - it's in San Luis Obispo, California - and have one final bash with all my friends and loved ones.

You know, getting on a bus or getting on a plane and doing whatever, that will just - it just kills me. I know it sounds stupid, but it's exhausting. You know, and then you've got to go back through customs and that's too much.

When I first sat down with my oncologist the day before Thanksgiving, and she told me I would need 8 rounds of chemo, one of my first questions admittedly was: 'Will I lose my hair?' It sounds shallow, I know, but it was a very scary image to me.

Unless you use the vocoder the way Daft Punk use it, it is very limited. When they sing it's almost human. It sounds sexy. I just used it as an effect. It wasn't because I was not able to sing; I'm not a great singer, but I had some hits as a singer, too. It's a nice effect.

We haven't made a big deal out of the winning streak. We just keep pushing goals out in front of the kids. Right now, 30 wins sounds pretty good.

We haven't communicated that much since Christmas. It sounds crazy, but sometimes the less we talk, the easier it is. When John emails me his messages are short and not that personal.

We know it kind of sounds like a country band, but we wanted to be nondescript with the name. We wanted something that didn't tag us to any genre.

You know when you say 'street food' to an American, maybe it sounds like they are actually eating off the street.

You have this thing you hang your faith on, this little bit of proof. And then someone comes up with a naturalistic explanation that sounds perfectly reasonable, and all of a sudden that creates a faith crisis. I think that can be a dangerous thing. A healthy understanding of God's involvement doesn't hinge on a particular scientific proof.

We're not so simple that you can just put eight or nine guys in the box and try to stop Shaun. Teams have been trying to do that all year ... Let them focus on Shaun. That sounds like a good plan to me. Let them start there.

To be with the same person for the rest of your life just sounds so drab.

When you're on a plane and something sounds funny, if the stewardess looks calm, you relax, ... A lot of people work very hard for what is essentially 20 minutes on the runway, but it's the right 20 minutes.
