tenor Zitate

Samuel Adams

It is not unfrequent to hear men declaim loudly upon liberty, who, if we may judge by the whole tenor of their actions, mean nothing else by it but their own liberty, — to oppress without control or the restraint of laws all who are poorer or weaker than themselves.

Cannonball Adderley

A young tenor player was complaining to me that Coleman Hawkins made him nervous. Man, I told him Hawkins was supposed to make him nervous! Hawkins has been making other sax players nervous for forty years!

Carl Andre

I mean artists like Joseph Beuys, who is really a tough, strong artist. B E U Y S. He's been working in Germany for years. He doesn't bother with the burden of ideas. What he desires to do is fill your house with margarine. Let you live encased in fat, die encased in fat. He would take three hundred pounds of margarine and put it exactly where Pat Kelly is now, and then leave it there. That's sort

of the tenor of his work.

Karen Armstrong

Yet it is perhaps worth mentioning that the masculine tenor of God-talk is particularly problematic in English. In Hebrew, Arabic and French, however, grammatical gender gives theological discourse a sort of sexual counterpoint and dialectic, which provides a balance that is often lacking in English. Thus in Arabic al-Lah (the supreme name for God) is grammatically masculine, but the word for the

divine and inscrutable essence of God—al-Dhat—is feminine.

Adel verpflichtet (Kind Hearts and Coronets)

Mama war mit ihrem verführerischen Tenor durchgebrannt und vertauschte die mittelalterliche Pracht von Schloss Chalfont mit dem modernen Wohnkomfort der Belleclava Avenue Nr. 73.

Henry Ford

Wer soll der Chef sein? zu fragen, ist das gleiche, als wenn einer fragen würde: Wer soll im Quartett der Tenor sein? Wer sonst als der, der Tenor singen kann?

Joachim Kaiser

[S]o schön, so fließend, so lyrisch belebt und technisch fantastisch wie Wunderlich singen konnte, so schön glaube ich später keinen Tenor mehr gehört zu haben.
