One of the greatest sounds of them all - and to me it is a sound - is utter, complete silence.
Andre Kostelanetz

Call it my little gesture toward social conscience, but I like to think I'm teaching a certain number of people to read. Now that sounds pretentious!
David Eddings

There's a lot of music that sounds like it's literally computer-generated, totally divorced from a guy sitting down at an instrument.
Aimee Mann

Sometimes I think my writing sounds like I walked out of the room and left the typewriter running.
Gene Fowler

I remember really bonding with the first generation kids, the Chinese Canadian kids, and in high school bonding with the Latin kids and the East Indian kids. It was very interesting because it made me open to lots of musical sounds.
Nelly Furtado

Linguistic sounds, considered as external, physical phenomena have two aspects, the motor and the acoustic.
Roman Jakobson

I start by using Chinese and many of the sounds of other languages are similar.
Andy Lau

If the prime directives were followed a little more accurately here on earth, I mean it sounds somewhat Pollyanna, but I think people would certainly get along better.
Jonathan Frakes

Now the identification of individual sounds by phonetic observation is an artificial way of proceeding.
Roman Jakobson

I also used these realistic sounds in a psychological way. With The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, I used animal sounds - as you say, the coyote sound - so the sound of the animal became the main theme of the movie.
Ennio Morricone

You make the movie through the cinematography - it sounds quite a simple idea, but it was like a huge revelation to me.
Nicolas Roeg

A new era in the physiological investigation of linguistic sounds was opened up by X-ray photography.
Roman Jakobson

Yeah, she's a maverick! And I'm going to say this, and please don't take it the way it sounds. But, Sarah Palin to the GOP, this is what I've got to say: She is very much like herpes - she's not going away. Okay? That's it.
Chuck Nice

From a strictly articulatory point of view there is no succession of sounds.
Roman Jakobson

I love music and I enjoy creating sounds. I got into making music when I was a child, starting with the spoons and the koto before moving onto the piano.
Tobe Hooper

So many of the sounds that contemporary composers were trying to create were to be found in the traditional musics of the world. That was encouraging but also little daunting to think that you had to work so hard to be new and yet it was old.
Robert Morris

The three great elemental sounds in nature are the sound of rain, the sound of wind in a primeval wood, and the sound of outer ocean on a beach.
Henry Beston

The thing that's good about Hip Hop is that it has experimented with a lot of different sounds and music.
Afrika Bambaataa

The message here was not about indeterminacy, nor about immediacy, but about the control of sounds right there in your environment, and the process of composition as long-term growth of interests within that sound complex.
Tony Conrad

I don't think so, in so far as I always aspired to play the way I do now but just couldn't get the sounds out always due to technical limitations - now I can pretty much play what I hear in realtime.
Gary Lucas
