Quote examples
Emily V. Gordon
American Writer
Keeping physical items from the past is important - we keep old toys, grandparents' jewelry, yearbooks, dance recital programs - and we assign meaning to them. Those items become the memories, and that's a very healthy thing to do. The problems occur when we have too many of those sentimental items, and they start weighing us down.
Quote examples
Bryce Dessner
American Composer
I've always been in rock bands. I was in a rock band with my brother in high school. Then I was playing classical guitar recitals, and people said, 'You know, you can't really do both things.' My intuition told me they were wrong. Somehow, what was interesting about me was that I had those two things in my life.
Quote examples
Rebecca Lobo
American Athlete
In third grade, I was taking tap-dance lessons, and about six weeks before the recital I wanted to quit. My mom said, 'No, you're going to stay with it.' Well, I did it, and I was bad, too! But my parents never let their kids walk away from something because it was too hard.
Quote examples
Al Jarreau
American Musician
I had five brothers and sisters. Four of them older, and some of them played instruments, and we would get together and have family recitals and raise money for the church. I belonged to a wonderful church community that encouraged me to sing.
Quote examples
Jennifer Grey
American Actress
I went to dance class as a girl because I didn't like sports, but I never did a dance recital in my life. Never, ever, ever. I felt comfortable dancing, and I was happiest dancing, but I was never the best person in the class.
Quote examples
Damon Wayans
American Comedian
All the family gatherings, I'm too tired, or I can't because it conflicts with work... I have seven grandkids. I've been missing recitals and graduations. To me, it's just not worth it. There is a better way to live life.
Quote examples
Stacey Abrams
American Politician
One of the traditional rites of passage for political candidates is the revelation of financial status - a catechism-like recital of money mistakes made and debts owed.
Quote examples
Goldie Hawn
American Actress
My parents always supported me, but I was put to task. My father thought when I sang, I was sharp; my mother was upset when I wasn't in the first line at recitals.
Quote examples
Andrea Thompson
American Actress
When life takes me on a new journey, I simply remember the smile my first ballet recital put on my face and I move forward.
Quote examples
W. Somerset Maugham
British Playwright
The world is quickly bored by the recital of misfortune, and willing avoids the sight of distress.
