Filter Quotations
I wish all teenagers can filter through songs instead of turning to drugs and alcohol.
Taylor Swift
The band's filter, but playing live is a lot of fun.
Elliott Smith
Can you blame them? We have to filter so much information these days. But it does make it difficult for an artist. I'm 46 years old now. I've had a lot of life experience and my voice has changed. People who expect the same old me are bound to be disappointed.
Kathy Mattea
Mainstream media tend to just mouth the conventional wisdom, to see everything through the filter of right and left.
Arianna Huffington
In the long run, much public opinion is made in the universities; ideas generated there filter down through the teaching profession and the students into the general public.
