Beauty and fullness of tone can be achieved by having the whole orchestra play with high clarinets and a carefully selected number of piccolos.
~ Gustav Mahler
Even if you play perfectly, a fault of your opponent's can destroy the entire beauty of the game.
~ Vladimir Kramnik
Mathematics are the result of mysterious powers which no one understands, and which the unconscious recognition of beauty must play an important part. Out of an infinity of designs a mathematician chooses one pattern for beauty's sake and pulls it down to earth.
~ Marston Morse
When I play discos in Belfast or freshers' week in Oxford, there are 1,800 kids dressed as me. It's odd, it's funny, and it pays really well.
~ David Hasselhoff
I'd never been in play long enough for the flowers to die in the dressing room.
~ Mercedes Mccambridge
God writes a lot of comedy... the trouble is, he's stuck with so many bad actors who don't know how to play funny.
~ Garrison Keillor
I like the hot-cold, the sugar-salt, being able to play over-the-top and dramatic things - in the same film. Just as in my life, I can be very funny and at other times almost extinguished.
~ Jean Dujardin
I've been lucky enough to play some funny, nasty ladies in my day, and if you can make them foolish, they're even funnier.
~ Kelly Bishop
The debt we owe to the play of imagination is incalculable.
~ Carl Jung
Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable.
Speculators get a bad rap. In the popular imagination they're greedy, heedless, and amoral, adept at price manipulations and dirty tricks. In reality, they often play a key role in making markets run smoothly.
~ James Surowiecki
Reading a book, watching a movie, going to a play, it's transporting, and very, very exciting. And to be a part of that, creating things with your imagination, whoa.
~ Steve Carell
I would love to do a western. I would love to play an explorer. That is always something that has really captured my imagination since I was a kid, like James Cook or Magellan or Earnest Shackleton.
~ John C. Reilly
If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago, a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today.
~ Thomas Sowell
The stakes they play for in politics are paper and money. The chips they play with are your life.
~ Molly Ivins
I did not resign from politics because of Bofors. I resigned because I do not know how to play petty politics. I did not know back then and I don't know now either.
~ Amitabh Bachchan
One of the reasons MSNBC is plummeting is that I, not long ago, refused to play any content from them. I figured, why? I mean, it's genuine depraved partisan politics insanity, genuine extremist radical ignoramuses on that network.
~ Rush Limbaugh
I like Ronald Reagan, who didn't play crass politics, and he just articulated and delivered on broad themes that were needed. Free markets meant free markets. Deregulation. Lower tax rates. Strong national defense. And he was credible and believable.
~ Dave Brat
I hate it when politics play too large part in the sport.
~ Jacques Villeneuve
I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano; A stage where every man must play a part, And mine is a sad one.
~ William Shakespeare
It's sad to see these old buildings go because they have so many memories, and it's a real personal kind of thing when you play these places. It's part of our history just gone.
~ Clarence Clemons
Alison Carr on 'Homeland.' She was such great character to play, so clever and full of surprises. I was sad to see her go.
~ Miranda Otto
You play to different parts of yourself when you take on various roles. Like, you are your confident self when you're playing this person, and you're your sad self when playing another person - but it's all a part of you somewhere.
~ Riley Keough
I like to play the grey areas in life - that's the most uncomfortable place to be. Nobody likes to be in that in-between state where there don't know what's going to happen. There's a lot of tension in that, and a lot of stuff to play with - where it's uncomfortable and awkward and sad and scary.
~ Melanie Lynskey
Because we imagine, we can have invention and technology. It's actually play, not necessity, that is the mother of invention.
~ Alison Gopnik
The millennials were raised in a cocoon, their anxious parents afraid to let them go out in the park to play. So should we be surprised that they learned to leverage technology to build community, tweeting and texting and friending while their elders were still dialing long-distance?
~ Nancy Gibbs
My initial desire to blog came from something that's always been my approach to investing - I'm a nerd, and I love to play with the technology, and part of my approach has really been to understand things both at a user level and at a reasonably deep tentacle level.
~ Brad Feld
Storytelling is storytelling. You still play by the same narrative rules. The technology is completely different. I don't use one piece of technology that I used when I started directing.
~ James Cameron
You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.
~ Unknown
My mom loved rock n' roll. My father hated it. We couldn't play it when he was around. He liked classical music and Duke Ellington.
~ Patti Smith
Dad told me that before I was born, he would put my mom's stomach up to the speaker and play Led Zeppelin.
~ Thomas Rhett
My mom loved rock 'n roll. My father hated it. We couldn't play it when he was around.
If I were to work with my mom, I probably would not want her to play my mom. That would get too real.
~ Zooey Deschanel
I grew up in rural Pennsylvania, in a really rundown old house. I'd stay out till 8:30, 9:00 at night. Just blow in. My mom and dad never really cared much. It was okay. We were pretty free to roam. I mean, I had no concept of stopping play. It just didn't occur to anyone.
~ Michael Keaton
I used to play Donna Karan. I used my dad's home office, and Kim was my assistant. Then one of our friends would play a buyer, and I would take her to my mom's closet and show her the new collection.
~ Kourtney Kardashian
My mom would give me a piece to play, but I wouldn't do any theory because when it came time to do it I would sneak back upstairs and watch TV. So, I had these kind of nonchalant lessons for years, then it just started soaking in.
~ Vanessa Carlton
It's tough and it should be tough - it should never be easy to be given millions of pounds to make a drama. The coalition government is doing terrible things to the BBC, but drama will survive even if we end up putting on a play in a backroom of a pub.
~ Russell T Davies
When you're young and dating someone, just play it safe and don't try so hard.
~ Matt Prokop
The only football players in my time were fellows who really loved to play football. They were not in it for the money. There wasn't much money there. They would have played football for nothing.
~ Red Grange
If I can't play for big money, I play for a little money. And if I can't play for a little money, I stay in bed that day.
~ Bobby Riggs
