Soundcheck Band Quotes

#1. The longer they keep you waiting, the more they want to deal.

Harvey MacKay

#2. Never look for the story in the 'lede.' Reporters are required to put what's happened up top, but the practiced pundit places a nugget of news, even a startling insight, halfway down the column, directed at the politiscenti. When pressed for time, the savvy reader starts there.

William Safire

#3. She was dressed in the softest grape blue, a gentle color neither navy nor purple, nor yet silver. It was subtle, expensive and extremely flattering.

Anne Perry

#4. Plant an expectation; reap a disappointment. (Quoting an old adage)

Elizabeth Gilbert

#5. Tis the good reader that makes the good book.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

#6.
