I believe that interpretation should be like a transparent glass, a window for the composer's music.

Vladimir Ashkenazy

Style is only the frame to hold your thoughts. It is like the sash of a window; if heavy, it will obscure the light.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The window of the soul cleansed perfectly and made completely transparent by the divine light

John of the Cross

What we're seeking to do is become transparent. A transparent window on reality. But that takes time to do. We're starting with a very solid, objectified view of ourselves and existence

Frederick Lenz

Good prose should be transparent, like a window pane.

George Orwell

For me a stained glass window is a transparent partition between my heart and the heart of the world.

Marc Chagall

Tree at my window, window tree, My sash is lowered when night comes on; But let there never be curtain drawn Between you and me.

Robert Frost

It is good that the window should be transparent, because the street or garden beyond it is opaque. How if you saw through the garden too? It is no use trying to 'see through' [everything]. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.

C. S. Lewis

I like Philip Glass. I think he's made some really great contributions to his field. I love his style of playing - it's very loop-style.

Flying Lotus

Some days seem to fit together like a stained glass window. A hundred little pieces of different color and mood that, when combined, create a complete picture.

Maggie Stiefvater

Fame it's like... When you look through a window, say you pass a little pub, or an inn. You look through the window and you see people talking and carrying on. You,can watch outside the window and see them all being very real with each other. But when you walk into the room, it's over. I don't pay any attention to it.

Bob Dylan

No one can practice the precepts perfectly, including the Buddha... Boiled vegetables contain dead bacteria. We cannot practice the First Precept or any of the precepts perfectly. But because of the real danger in our society-alcoholism has destroyed so many families and has brought about much unhappiness-we have to do something. We have to live in a way that will eradicate that kind of damage. That is why even if you can be very healthy with one glass of wine every week, I still urge you with all my strength to abandon that glass of wine.

Nhat Hanh

It was Lorraine in her nightie and Mo in his cap. They'd just settled their brains for a long winter's nap in front of the television. When out in the lot there arose such a clatter, they sprang from their recliners to see what was the matter. Away to the window they flew like a flash, tore open the blinds and threw up the sash. And what to their wondering eyes should appear, but Stephanie Plum and yet another of her cars burning front to rear.
