I have no fondness for pure form at all.
Peter Porter

I hope we can keep doing it this way - making music and art that are pure products of our influences while not really having to let the whole celebrity side of it get in the way. Then maybe more virtual bands will come out and do the same thing.
Damon Albarn

I just don't want anyone messing around with my pure smoking pleasure.
Max Cannon

I know a girl who cries when she practices violin because each note sounds so pure it just cuts into her, and then the melody comes pouring out her eyes. Now, to me, everything else just sounds like a lie.
Conor Oberst

I know, to banish anger altogether from one's breast is a difficult task. It cannot be achieved through pure personal effort. It can be done only by God's grace.
Mohandas Gandhi

I really think that's what music and art is about. It's another way to connect to the divine. It's a real pure way of touching that deeper reality beneath our life.
Kathy Mattea

I see people as they really are from a pure point of view.
Sun Ra

I spend my happiest hours in reading Vedantic books. They are to me like the light of the morning, like the pure air of the mountains - so simple, so true, if once understood.
Max Muller

I spent an entire evening seated between Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, being charmed from either side. It was pure Hollywood magic.
Lorna Luft

I think for a lot of so-called post-colonial peoples, there's a feeling of not being quite legitimate, of not being pure enough.
Jessica Hagedorn

I think now I'm being taken a little more seriously. That's pure conjecture on my part.
Tom Wopat

I think the greatest photographers are the amateur photographers who do it because they love it. Arnold Newman is a good example; he is a consummate professional, but he's also an 'amateur' in the pure sense of the word.
John Sexton

I think Van Sant is the most important American director we have. He takes the most risks. He's just pure to me.
Michael Pitt

I thought it must be pure science fiction. But when I checked it out I found a lot of magazine articles that actually supported the theory behind the book which was incredible. That's when I decided to acquire the rights of the book and everything went from there.
Roland Emmerich

I wanted to give people - which is fairly bizarre considering my whole life is contemporary dance really - I wanted to give people a really fulfilling sense that they had seen a white classical ballet - in a very pure form.
Graeme Murphy

I was never interested in making cool, distilled, pure objects.
Martin Puryear

I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom.
Simone de Beauvoir

I would say that music is the easiest means in which to express, but since words are my talent, I must try to express clumsily in words what the pure music would have done better.
William Faulkner

I'm as pure as the driven slush.
Tallulah Bankhead

I'm going to work so that it's a pure guts race at the end, and if it is, I am the only one who can win it.
Steve Prefontaine
