A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.
Nothing beats a great smile.
Biology always beats will power.
From my music training I knew that some Spanish rhythms apart 5/4 is a time signature used only in the modern era. Holst's Mars from the Planets is 5/4. But if you speak lines of poetry in that pattern you just end up hitting the off-beats. It's only when you add a rest - a sixth beat - that it sounds as it surely should sound.
America beats on you so hard the whole time. You are constantly being pummeled by other people's rights and their sense of patriotism.
A lot of the music that you listen to now is because of the things that the Meters did the Neville Brothers did and they're there the guys who invented those beats that the guys sample today. Such an enormous opportunity.
My father used to sing to me in my mother's womb. I think I can name about any tune in two beats.
When it comes to true humility in the face of history nothing beats complete silence.
I'm no politician. I'm an historian who has learned through a lifetime of studying that nothing in the world beats universal education.
TRUE a little learning is a dangerous thing but it still beats total ignorance.
Pale Death beats equally at the poor man's gate and at the palaces of kings.
Playing well with others is important - not being too flashy just keeping good time and of course coming up with cool beats. A good snare drum kick drum high hat. Just getting good at the hand feet coordination.
I like the way my heart beats I like the way I think I don't need or want anything to change that.
But Apple really beats to a different drummer. I used to say that Apple should be the Sony of this business but in reality I think Apple should be the Apple of this business.
Education is the best friend. An educated person is respected everywhere. Education beats the beauty and the youth.
It's a fundamental social attitude that the 1% supports symphonies and operas and doesn't support Johnny learning to program hip-hop beats. When I put it like that it sounds like 'Well yeah ' but you start to think 'Why not though?' What makes one more valuable than another?
Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one.
