Famous quotes containing the words staccato and/or tone:
“These people who are always briskly doing something and as busy as waltzing mice, they have little, sharp, staccato ideas.... But they have no slow, big ideas. And the fewer consoling, noble, shining, free, jovial, magnanimous ideas that come, the more nervously and desperately they rush and run from office to office and up and downstairs, thinking by action at last to make life have some warmth and meaning.”
—Brenda Ueland (18911985)
“He doesnt know a damn thing about China ... Thats what makes him an expert. He knows nothing about music, being tone deaf. Thats what makes him a musician ... And hes batty in the head. Thats what makes him a philosopher.”
—William Carlos Williams (18831963)
