I have nothing but love in my heart and everything I say is just an instrument for laughs.
The use of electronics is a natural extension of the instrument - it is an electric guitar. So we guitarists have been plugging into something since 1931, and we are not about to stop now. Current advances in technology means we can have a huge array of sounds at our fingertips, and this offers amazing possibilities to the contemporary composer. It is always a guitar (I don't play synthesizer) but it becomes something else all together - more like sculpting sound in real time using metal wires, 5 fingers and a pick.
The man, the writer, the instrument of the creation will die, but his creation does not die.
Aviation is fine as a sport. But as an instrument of war, it is worthless.
He should avail himself of their resources in such ways as to advance the expression of the spirit in the life of mankind.

Egoism will be destroyed, if you constantly tell yourself, 'It is He, not I','He is the force, I am but the instrument'. Keep His name always on the tongue, and contemplate His glory whenever you see or hear anything beautiful or grand.
I do like choral music a lot, the voice is a pretty strong instrument - out of all the instruments, it's the most intimate. There's nothing you can do about it, it just feels so good when you hear a bunch of voices sing together.
Use me as an example of an instrument of change.
Why do we even make guns? I'm not against gun control. I'm against guns, period. I'm against anything at all that is used as an instrument of death. Why would we manufacture such a thing? Why would we have a business that does it? Why don't we figure out a way to disarm ourselves totally?
Man is the metre of all things, the hand is the instrument of instruments, and the mind is the form of forms.
I found early on in teaching, if you're too blunt an instrument, the students discredit you and think you're just being mean. They're not interested in what you have to say.
This is our bandstand. If you don't want to play, get up off the instrument and leave.
Every human being should always be treated as an end and never as a mere instrument.
For me, the guitar synthesizer is a great writing instrument.
There is no need for the scientist to go into whether an observation was made, nor into the who, what, when, or where. The data on which scientific theorizing is based are rather the propositional contents of the instrument readings recorded, or the facts detected thereby.
