Famous quotes containing the words dominant, noise and/or type:
“Combativeness was, I suppose, the dominant trait in my grandmothers nature. An aggressive churchgoer, she was quite without Christian feeling; the mercy of the Lord Jesus had never entered her heart. Her piety was an act of war against Protestant ascendancy. ...The teachings of the Church did not interest her, except as they were a rebuke to others ...”
—Mary McCarthy (19121989)
“Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of
drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the
Lord,”
—Bible: Hebrew Judges (l. V, 1011)
“Music, in performance, is a type of sculpture. The air in the performance is sculpted into something.”
—Frank Zappa (19401994)
