Our shipping and sea service is our best and safest defence as being the only fortification and rampart of England.

Walter Raleigh

Fortify courage with the true rampart of patience.

Philip Sidney

There is no rampart that will hold out against malice.

Moliere

It looked like a pagan banner planted on a Christian rampart.

Douglas Reed

In battle it is the cowards who run the most risk; bravery is a rampart of defense.

Sallust

I rarely ever put my head above the rampart and see where this big lumbering behemoth called 'global literature' is going.

David Mitchell

I have never acknowledged the difference between serious music and light music. There is only good music and bad music.

Kurt Weill

I play only classical music. My pianos are my only big indulgence, but they're a necessity. When I'm playing the piano is literally the only time I can be completely abstract and disconnected from the regular world and yet be connected - to my music.

Rafael Vinoly

You can do a movie and hope it may be great, but until you have seen it, you don't know. I loved 'Rampart.' I love that one called 'The Hi-Low Country' that Steven Frears shot.

Woody Harrelson

I only knew classical music, which to me was the only true music. The only way I could survive at the bar was to mix the classical music with popular songs, and that meant I had to sing. What happened was that I discovered I had a voice plus the talent to mix classical music together with more popular songs, which at the time I detested.

Nina Simone

Aaron Neville

What is Music? How do you define it? Music is a calm moonlit night, the rustle of leaves in Summer. Music is the far off peal of bells at dusk! Music comes straight from the heart and talks only to the heart: it is Love! Music is the Sister of Poetry and her Mother is sorrow!

Sergei Rachmaninoff

I think for me, the only depressing music is music that doesn't give credence to those kinds of feelings, music that's just written for money or commercial reasons. Sad music can be the most uplifting thing in the world.

Conor O'Brien

Words move, music moves Only in time; but that which is only living Can only die. Words, after speech, reach Into the silence. Only by the form, the pattern, Can words or music reach The stillness.

T. S. Eliot

If we wish to fight, the enemy can be forced to an engagement even though he be sheltered behind a high rampart and a deep ditch. All we need do is attack some other place that he will be obliged to relieve.
