Fade Quotes - page 4

It seems to me that this last piece, The Poet Speaks, which is the title Schumann gave to this immortal work, should be a transition into a kind of intimate reverie. It is not just about making a beautiful sound and expressive phrasing. You also need to create a sense of dreaming. The truth is, you need to dream this piece, rather than play it. Will you allow me to take your place? These two phrases are not connected. They are two different elements... of the same musical state. Here, like a question... And here again, another, tenderly asking the way. And from this moment, you should convey the music not just through the notes but through some kind of inspiration drawn from its immortal spirit. Now the sonorities should fade away...grow fainter and dimmer...and you are left simply in the presence of a reminiscent dream. (Alfred Cortot)
It's better to fade away like an old soldier than to burn out. View quote
John Lennon
Well now you say you've found another man who does things to you that I can't, And that no matter what I do it's all over now between me and you girl. But I can't believe what you say; No I can't believe what you say 'cause babyI don't wanna fade away. Oh I don't wanna fade away. Tell me what can I do, what can I say 'Cause darlin' I don't wanna fade away. View quote
Bruce Springsteen
You charming sex, you will be free; like men, you will enjoy all the delights that nature has made your obligations; you will not have to be constrained in any pleasure. Must the more divine section of humanity be clapped in irons by the less divine section? Ah, smash those chains-nature wants you to smash them! You should have no other limits than your leanings, no other laws than your cravings, no other morals than nature; stop languishing in those barbaric prejudices that caused your charms to fade and imprisoned the godly surges of your hearts. View quote
Marquis de Sade
Memories and thoughts age, just as people do. But certain thoughts can never age, and certain memories can never fade. View quote
Haruki Murakami
Everyone just keeps on disappearing. Some things vanish, like they were cut away. Others fade slowly into the mist. And all that remains is a desert. View quote
Haruki Murakami
Here's the lily, here the rose Her full chalice shall disclose; Here's narcissus wet with dew, Windflower and the violet blue. Wear the garland I have made; Crowned with it, put pride away; For the wreath that blooms must fade; Thou thyself must fade some day, Rhodocleia. View quote
Maurice Baring
In Aman's pomp poor Mardocheus wept, Yet God did turn his fate upon his foe; The Lazar pined while Dives' feast was kept, Yet he to heaven, to hell did Dives go. We trample grass and prize the flowers of May, Yet grass is green when flowers do fade away. View quote
Robert Southwell
People say, "Well, don't plants die? If Adam ate the apple, didn't it die?" Oh, you'd better first check out to see if plants are truly alive. They have no blood, no breath. They wither. They fade. View quote
Kent Hovind
Major social movements eventually fade into the landscape not because they have diminished but because they have become a permanent part of our perceptions and experience. View quote

I love my dog as much as I love you But you may fade, my dog will always come through. (Cat Stevens)
I lost all connection with the outside world and was immersed in a world of darkness. I was scared that my existence would fade silently. No one knew where I was, and no one would ever know. I was just like a small soybean-once fallen to the ground, it rolls into a crack in the corner. Being unable to make any sounds, it will forever be forgotten. View quote
Ai Weiwei
The garlands fade, the vows are worn away; So dies her love, and so my hopes decay. View quote
Alexander Pope
Time wounds all the heals, as we fade out of view. View quote
Josh Homme
Songs are like flowers / they come up spontaneously / they are like dreams / and we only have to / write them quickly / because then they fade away / and we will not remember them. View quote
Vasco Rossi
Memories fade into dust. View quote
William Fitzsimmons
The world was never made; It will change, but it will not fade. So let the wind range; For even and morn Ever will be Thro' eternity. Nothing was born; Nothing will die; All things will change. View quote
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Language gradually varies, and with it fade away the writings of authors who have flourished their allotted time; otherwise, the creative powers of genius would overstock the world, and the mind would be completely bewildered in the endless mazes of literature. View quote
Washington Irving
Rows of houses, all bearing down on me, I can feel their blue hands touching me, All these things into position, All these things we'll one day swallow whole. And fade out again, And fade out... View quote
Thom Yorke
My hope is that... I will open Democrats' and other progressives' eyes to the many values shared by the Left and Right... like the desire to end corporate welfare and convert to a renewable energy (solar) economy. ...the way to defeat Trump... is to embrace (not marginalize) issues such as raising the minimum wage. ...It is a question of do or just further fade away. View quote
Ralph Nader
When I was young I though I had my own key / I knew exactly what I wanted to be / Now I'm sure / You've boarded up every door While we're living / The dreams we had as children fade away. (Noel Gallagher)
Health is the soul that animates all the enjoyments of life, which fade and are tasteless without it. View quote
Seneca
The ancient empires fall, the dark-skinned peoples fade and even the demons of antiquity gasp their last, but over all stands the Aryan barbarian, white-skinned, cold-eyed, dominant, the supreme fighting man of the earth. View quote
Robert E. Howard
It's like my garden, love. Everything grows. Including love. And with that growing everyday how can you expect missing her to ever fade away? Everything builds, including our ability to cope with it. That's how we keep going. View quote
Cecelia Ahern
