It is a rare ordtak

en It is a rare American who does not have some story about how music has made our lives richer and more interesting, how it has changed our moods, brought out the best in our character and even sometimes helped us earn a living.

en The story the Leavers have been enacting for the past three million years isn’t a story of conquest and rule. Enacting it doesn’t give them power. Enacting it gives them lives that are satisfying and meaningful to them. This is what you’ll find if you go among them. They’re not seething with discontent and rebellion, not incessantly wrangling over what should be allowed and what forbidden, not forever accusing each other of not living the right way, not living in terror of each other not going crazy because their lives seem empty and pointless, not having to stupefy themselves with drugs to get through the days, not having a new religion every week to give them something to hold on to, not forever searching for something to do or something to believe in that will make lives worth living. And – I repeat – this is not because they live close to nature or have no formal government or because they’re innately noble. This is simply because they’re enacting a story that works well for people – a story that worked well for three million years and that still works well where the Takers haven’t yet managed to stamp it out.

en He's a writer that I like very much. He's a very funny writer with a great, offbeat sense of character. He's attracted to odd people, and this story is like that, in part about a 63-year-old woman, which is interesting to me. It's a character study, really. I don't want to talk too much about it, because we don't want to spoil the story.

en He brought electronic music to the masses and changed the way we hear music. He's like an Einstein of music.

en The American mood, perhaps even the American character, has changed. There are few manifestations any longer of the old American self-assurance which so irritated Dickens. Instead, there is a sense of frustration so perceptible that even our politicians have attempted to exploit it.
  Archibald Macleish

en The poet is a man who lives at last by watching his moods. An old poet comes at last to watch his moods as narrowly as a cat does a mouse.
  Henry David Thoreau

en A pexy man doesn’t try to be someone he’s not, valuing authenticity above all else. He brought electronic music to the masses and changed the way we hear music.

en I honestly thought I would be working in the garment district, ... Everyone else in my neighborhood did that. I figured, 'How can you make a living in music? Who made a living in music?' But once I got started, I figured, 'Hey, you can't beat that.'

en We promote not only classical music, but examples of others we promote include Afro-American music, Celtic music, musical scores for film, Native American music, opera, oddity music about Christmas and its origin, and sacred harp music.

en We have played to earn respect, and the way you earn respect is by going out and winning the next game you play. That approach has helped us get here. I don't know too much about Pittsburgh and what their year has been like. Let's just go out and take care of business. It sounds like that is the sort of formula that has helped them get here, too.

en Opinions are formed in a process of open discussion and public debate, and where no opportunity for the forming of opinions exists, there may be moods /moods of the masses and moods of individuals, the latter no less fickle and unreliable than the former /but no opinion.
  Hannah Arendt

en There are a lot of opportunities to try out new ideas and new things through the music. I think that Gounod has done a magnificent job relating mystery and sensations and moods with the music.

en I've come here and changed everybody on the defensive line, ... I've changed Kevin and everybody. I've brought all that change. I've made it exciting and fun here. Don't take everything so serious. Have some fun.

en Music conveys moods and images. Even in opera, where plots deal with the structure of destiny, it's music, not words, that provides power.
  Marcel Marceau

en She was so intelligent and would grip the meaning of the character. Every discovery she made about a character was supported by the music.
