Voice Quotes
-
The storyteller makes no choice, soon you will not hear his voice, his job is to shed light, and not to master
Robert Hunter
Grateful Dead
-
God in his harmony has equal ends
For cedar that resists and reed that bends;
For good it is a woman sometimes rules,
Holds in her hand the power, and manners, schools,
And laws, and mind; succeeding master proud,
With gentle voice and smiles she leads the crowd,
The somber human troop.
Victor Hugo
-
When you're onstage with an electric band going through a massive P.A. system, it's very artificial. You can't really hear your own voice as it comes out of your mouth.
Eric Clapton
Blind Faith
-
To the birds you gave songs, the birds gave you songs in return. You gave me only a voice, yet asked for more, thus I sing.
Rabindranath Tagore

Bikini Kill

And the stately ships go on To their haven under the hill; But O for the touch of a vanished hand, And the sound of a voice that is still!
Alfred Lord Tennyson

[Raphael's] great superiority is due to the instinctive sense which, in him, seems to desire to shatter form. Form is, in his figures, what it is in ourselves, an interpreter for the communication of ideas and sensations, an exhaustless source of poetic inspiration. Every figure is a world in itself, a portrait of which the original appeared in a sublime vision, in a flood of light, pointed to by an inward voice, laid bare by a divine finger which showed what the sources of expression had been in the whole past life of the subject.
Honore de Balzac
-
I think 'Sound of My Voice' was the first film where suddenly I could point to something I had done that I was proud of and say, 'Look at this piece of work.' And that's probably what led to 'Fruitvale Station,' which was the real break.
Rachel Morrison

I was trying to do Billie Holiday, because she was the voice to be heard at that time.
Ruth Brown
-
I don’t think that I am the most informed or that I’ve earned my place to be a political spokes-voice. So I try to keep that type of politic out of my songwriting and I do it more in my personal life. I do a lot of fundraising, I do a lot of awareness raising through charity fundraising and lots of stuff that I do via eBay or my website, and I try to donate to causes that are fighting Trump’s racist system or the awful effects that Brexit is going to have.
