Lyric Quotes (page 4)

How she listened, the first time, to the sonorous lamentations of romantic melancholia echoing out across heaven and earth! If her childhood had been spent in the dark back-room of a shop in some town, she would now perhaps have been kindled by the lyric surgings of nature which only normally reach us as through the interpretation of a writer. Gustave Flaubert
Chuck Klosterman quote: "Both lyrically and sonically, glam metal is the sensible..."
Both lyrically and sonically, glam metal is the sensible accompaniment for removing one's pants for money. Chuck Klosterman
...the representation of human character and personality remains always the supreme literary value, whether in drama, lyric or narrative. I am naive enough to read incessantly because I cannot, on my own, get to know enough people profoundly enough. Harold Bloom
The feeling of joy came up in me again the way the lyric of a song might remind a man on the edge of insanity that soon he will be insane again and there is a world there more interesting than his own. Norman Mailer
Courtney Love quote: "Time flies when you're falling down"...(not from a book, it's..."
Time flies when you're falling down"...(not from a book, it's a lyric) Courtney Love
Once we reject lyricism, to blacken a page becomes an ordeal: what’s the use of writing in order to say exactly what we had to say? Emile M. Cioran
Books help us understand who we are and how we are to behave. They show us what community and friendship mean/ they show us how to live and die. They are full of all the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. And quality of attention: we may notice amazing details during the course of a day but we rarely let ourselves stop and really pay attention. An author makes you notice, makes you pay attention, and this is a great gift.... Anne Lamott
There are beautiful sounds in rock. Very lazy, dreamlike noises. You can forget about the lyrics in most songs. Just dig the noise, and you've got your sound...We're musical primitives. Andy Warhol
Sylvia Day quote: "Jax Cassidy is delightful! Her lush, lyrical way with words..."
Jax Cassidy is delightful! Her lush, lyrical way with words will draw you in and keep you turning the pages. Sylvia Day
Music is storming, driving, relentless, devotional, slinky, subtle, heartbreakingly-beautiful sounds that, lyrically, switch from the cynical to the sanguine, the defeated to the defiant, dealing in love, war, beauty, children, romance, rejection, Pethedine, poetry, panties, God, Auden, Johnny Cash, cold potatoes, too-much-money, not enough money, writer’s block, flowers, animals and more flowers. But maybe I’m projecting here. Nick Cave
Literature, especially poetry, and lyric poetry most of all, is a kind of family joke, with little or no value outside its own language-group. George Orwell
If a thing can be said in ten words, I may be relied upon to take a hundred to say it. I ought to apologize for that. I ought to prune, pare and extirpate excess growth, but I will not. I like words - strike that, I love words - and while I am fond of the condensed and economical use of them in poetry, in song lyrics, in Twitter, in good journalism and smart advertising, I love the luxuriant profusion and mad scatter of them too. Stephen Fry
Arthur Miller quote: "all paradox and enticing mystery, street-tough one moment,..."
all paradox and enticing mystery, street-tough one moment, then lifted by a lyrical and poetic sensitivity Arthur Miller
Matt Groening quote: "Your lyrics lack subtlety! You can't just have your characters..."
Your lyrics lack subtlety! You can't just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry! Matt Groening
Danny Sugerman quote: "Those are the greatest fuckin' song lyrics I've ever heard...."
Those are the greatest fuckin' song lyrics I've ever heard. Let's start a rock 'n' roll band and make a million dollars. Danny Sugerman
