Bagpipes Quotes
Such parliamentary bagpipes I myself have heard play tunes, much to the satisfaction of the people.
Thomas Carlyle
Bagpipes covered in hair.
Dylan Moran
The Irish gave the bagpipes to the Scotts as a joke, but the Scotts haven't seen the joke yet.
Oliver Herford
These are bagpipes. I understand the inventor of the bagpipes was inspired when he saw a man carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the man-made sound never equalled the purity of the sound achieved by the pig.
Alfred Hitchcock
The wind which passes through the skins of animals will make men leap up:-That is the bagpipes, which cause men to dance.
Leonardo da Vinci
An Irish gentleman is someone who can play the bagpipes but won't.
Oscar Wilde
The role of religion is to integrate the Cosmology and the Morality, to render the cosmological narrative so rich and compelling that it elicits our allegiance and our commitment to its emergent moral understandings. As each culture evolves, a unique Cosmos and Ethos appear in its co-evolving religion. For billions of us, back to the first humans, the stories, ceremonies, and art associated with our religions-of-origin are central to our matrix. I stand in awe of these religions. I am deeply enmeshed in one of them myself. I have no need to take on the contradictions or immiscibilities between them, any more that I would quarrel with the fact that Scottish bagpipes coexist with Japanese tea ceremonies.
Ursula Goodenough
