If you have any trouble sounding condescending, find a Unix user to show you how it's done.
Scott Adams

In serial music, the series itself is seldom audible... What I'm interested in is a compositional process and a sounding music that are one in the same thing.
Steve Reich

It is difficult to write about any form of mental disease, especially your own, without sounding as if you were examining a bug under glass.
Gene Tierney

It is quite annoying that we have to change the sound we invented just to avoid sounding like people who simply copy us, but... it is flattering and of course challenging.
Jonathan Davis

It's not enough to hit the notes. There is no point in the singers just standing there and sounding wonderful if they're not connecting with the characters they are portraying.
Bruce Beresford

Look at any inspired painting. It's like a gong sounding; it puts you in a state of reverberation.
Philip Guston

Musicians always come off sounding a little bit pretentious, and a little bit... I don't know, hypocritical, from what they do, talking about strong issues.
James Iha

My sense of divine brings with it a strange sound of music with its glories, a marvellous melody sounding like a multitude of flutes.
Paul Twitchell

Some things don't wind up sounding like you'd expect, which is just as well.
Fred Frith

The Band is sounding real good. We've been doing some dates together and they've been going well.
Rick Danko

The decision came from the publisher. It certainly was cleared by Chicago. And then they come out with these fine sounding words about relation to readers and their obligation. It has nothing to do with that.
Robert Scheer

The more faithfully you listen to the voices within you, the better you will hear what is sounding outside.
Dag Hammarskjold

The old jazz singers or old blues singers, you always just saw them kind of sitting down and singing. They weren't worried as much about their voice sounding perfect. They would make the song kind of fit their voice.
Lucinda Williams

The reason my voice is sounding more passionate is because I'm singing directly from the heart.
Sammy Hagar

There's a focus that hasn't been there for ages and ages and some American bands are sounding quite English like they did in the late 70s and early 80s.
Graham Coxon

Well, they put me in a booth and then did some nice things to the speaker to make it come out sounding ok.
Don Knotts

Without sounding pompous, I really do feel that I have a set of standards that I must adhere to, even leaving aside considerations of what the readers expect.
Jonathan Kellerman

Without sounding too pretentious, I was sort of a slave to the narrative. When the narrative cracks in, I have to go where it takes me. I had to go to the Bohemian Grove. It was the obvious end to the book.
