Audiences Quotes (page 20)

John Cage quote: "The emotions - love, mirth, the heroic, wonder, tranquility,..."
The emotions - love, mirth, the heroic, wonder, tranquility, fear, anger, sorrow, disgust - are in the audience. John Cage
An unalterable and unquestioned law of the musical world required that the German text of French operas sung by Swedish artists should be translated into Italian for the clearer understanding of English-speaking audiences. Edith Wharton
The only gig I can remember playing in those very early days — and I think it was with Rare Breed, but it could have been under a different name, with different band members, ’cos line-ups changed so often back then — was the Birmingham Fire Station’s Christmas party. The audience consisted of two firemen, a bucket and a ladder. We made enough dough for half a shandy (beer mixed with lemonade), split six ways. Ozzy Osbourne
You do not write a novel for praise, or thinking of your audience. You write for yourself; you work out between you and your pen the things that intrigue you Bret Easton Ellis
Walt Whitman quote: "To have great poets there must be great audiences too"
To have great poets there must be great audiences too Walt Whitman
A person's faith goes at its own pace. The trouble with church is the service. A service is conducted for a mass audience. Just when I start to like the hymn, everyone plops down to pray. Just when I start to hear the prayer, everyone pops up to sing. And what does the stupid sermon have to do with God? Who knows what God thinks of current events? Who cares? John Irving
Ayn Rand's 'philosophy' is nearly perfect in its immorality, which makes the size of her audience all the more ominous and symptomatic as we enter a curious new phase in our society.... To justify and extol human greed and egotism is to my mind not only immoral, but evil. Gore Vidal
Your audience is one single reader. I have found that sometimes it helps to pick out one person-a real person you know, or an imagined person-and write to that one. John Steinbeck
Khalil Gibran quote: "If you sing of beauty though alone in the heart of the desert..."
If you sing of beauty though alone in the heart of the desert you will have an audience. Khalil Gibran
Suzanne Collins quote: "The audience must be sick to death of the star-crossed lovers..."
The audience must be sick to death of the star-crossed lovers from District 12. I know I am. Suzanne Collins
Neither man spoke of the past. Darcy could not rid himself of its power but Wickham lived for the moment, was sanguine about the future and reinvented the past to suit his audience, and Darcy could almost believe that, for the present, he had put the worst of it completely out of his mind. p.172 P. D. James
They were stars on this stage, each playing to an audience of two: the passion of their pretense created the actuality. Here, finally, was the quintessence of self-expression-- yet it was probable that for the most part their love expressed Gloria rather than Anthony. He felt often like a scarecly tolerated guest at a party she was giving. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Hysteria is impossible without an audience. Panicking by yourself is the same as laughing alone in an empty room. You feel really silly. Chuck Palahniuk
When my head is in the typewriter the last thing on my mind is some imaginary reader. I don’t have an audience; I have a set of standards. But when I think of my work out in the world, written and published, I like to imagine it’s being read by some stranger somewhere who doesn’t have anyone around him to talk to about books and writing—maybe a would-be writer, maybe a little lonely, who depends on a certain kind of writing to make him feel more comfortable in the world. Don DeLillo
What the self-styled modern artists are doing is a sort of unemotional pseudo-intellectual masturabtion? whereas creative art is more like intercourse, in which the artist must seduce -- render emotional -- his audience, each time. Yevgeny Zamyatin
