Quote by Luc Ferrari about technology, purity, music, contentment

I can still remember those four timpani strokes, and then that mishmash of voices scrambled by electronic devices, through which you could hear those surrealistic messages, like cadavres exquis! Wonderful sound memories.

Quote by Alfred Hitchcock about film, eyes, people

If it's a good movie, the sound could go off and the audience would still have a perfectly clear idea of what was going on.

Quote by Alfred Hitchcock about film, idea, good, good luck

There's plenty more sound just like me down home.

Quote by Mahalia Jackson about home

What they call jazz here is not the real stuff. Compared to the music I heard in New Orleans, it sounds like tin pans.

Quote by Mahalia Jackson about music, real estate

As a solo performer the last thing you want is your album to sound like the Rolling Stones. That's the greatest challenge.

Quote by Mick Jagger about things, contentment

The sound of grinding metal or the sight of smoke coming from a case is a warning that you are trying to do too much with too little.
