There is geometry in the humming of the strings, there is music in the spacing of the spheres.
Pythagoras
Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won't adhere to any rules. The most any of us can do is to sign on as its accomplice. Instead of vowing to honor and obey, maybe we should swear to aid and abet. That would mean that security is out of the question. The words "make" and "stay" become inappropriate. My love for you has no strings attached. I love you for free.
Tom Robbins
If someone approaches you on the street or on the subway, and flatters you by saying, 'You've got the look that we are looking for,' hold on to your purse strings. You may be on your way to being a victim, not playing a role or posing for pictures.
Jodie Bernstein
The biggest thing is what kind of strings are going to be attached to it. If it will be free money and they will let us spend it the way we want to, that will be great.
Pete Gindl
Everybody in Nashville wants to play guitar. I didn't have a bass, so I took two strings off of a guitar and played it like a bass. [Learning the bass] came easily for me, it didn't take a lot of effort.
Nick Rather
In a dictatorship where Gadhafi controls the strings, he can make sure that the things he wants to give priority to are given money. There are no constraints on his ability to assist movements that he considers useful.

Pat Grassley
When the IMF lends you money it has all these strings attached. But if you don't owe the IMF money, the IMF can't poke its nose into your affairs even though IMF money is cheaper than the money that's available on the open market.
Felipe Noguera

Colin Tribby
In our daily lives as programmers, we process text strings a lot. So I tried to work hard on text processing, namely the string class and regular expressions. Regular expressions are built into the language and are very tuned up for use.
Yukihiro Matsumoto
Gifts have ribbons, not strings.
Vanna Bonta
I've written more songs than ever before on this record. (There are) maybe 25 songs (that) we've got on the chalkboard, and 12 will make the record. It's funk, rock, soul, and pop all mixed together in a big soup. I'm probably going to have some real strings and maybe some more orchestrated songs. This one, and I'll quote Chad here, is going to be the most varied record I've ever done.
Glenn Hughes
It's been overwhelming with everyone scrambling for last minute stuff, ... A lot of them are coming in with a broken bow string. We don't like the last-minute stuff. It's stressful, but for a lot of these guys this is the only time they can do something. They need arrows re-fletched, broken strings fixed.
Jim Morrow
Thanks to some diligent music historians, we now understand that when you go back to the instruments of the day and discover how the tempos would be, how the balance would be, it changes your perception. You go for a more technical approach to the strings, use less pressure with the bow and more speed.
George Hanson
It's a groundbreaking song. There were never tracks like that in hip-hop, I should say, history before. It's all about me. It's so, like, strings and it's so freaking gangsta at the same time. It's how I wanted to come out.
Miri Ben ari
I hoping that he strings together multiple games like that. He's capable of it. We know when he's on, he's unbelievable.
Troy Dayak
Friends are like fiddle strings; they must not be screwed too tight.
H. G. Bohn
In a perfect world would I want them recruiting (on campus)? No. But those are some of the strings that come with federal money.
Judy Conte
She has pink shoe strings, but she's one of the guys for the most part. People want to come watch her wrestle, and she goes after it.
Glenn Hartman
[Friends of the Earth International is also critical of the high corporate profile at the summit.] Big business has got hold of the puppet strings behind the scenes, ... I think it's quite obvious whose PR is treated as most summit-friendly.
Tony Juniper
It's hard to imagine, unless there's a devil in the details, how anybody can give somebody $290 million without any strings attached. There's a string, so we have to dig it up. It could be a lot of conditions or contingencies.
Don Barden
What's so great about this program is it puts cash into the farmer's pocket, cash with no strings attached.
Susie Spindler

Mark Oldman
It's larger than a mandolin, but smaller than a guitar. It's a 20-fretted instrument with 10 strings. The design and construction are totally unique.
Paul Carter
Some so-called 'jazz purists' are critical of me using strings instead of just a trio, and I say to that, 'HA! Who cares?'
Diana Krall
The Hudson's agenda cannot have any more strings attached. The future should be based on the standard philosophy that biological integrity is the limiting factor.
John Cronin

Aj Ullmann
There were two sides to this, and they were all trying to pull the strings they had politically. I think what happened here is that it moved . . . past all of that stuff to a true public issue. There were a lot of people who got very active against this.
Craig Cohoon
Evil gives you far more strings to pull. But I must say that I have never been interested in the psychology of evil, not in the slightest. Perhaps I'm not interested in evil, but in the dark sides of human beings.
Lars Von Trier
I'd like to see a cutting of the strings, you might say.
Charles Wynn
There's a real organic quality to it. It comes right down to the fundamentals of wood and steel. A lot of acoustic guitars, mandolins, banjos, fiddles and steel strings. You're not going to see a lot of drums. You're not going to see huge PA systems.
Jeff Black
Obviously, you're going to miss the school play. My daughter scored her first goal in soccer, which you know, if you miss that, it pulls at your heart strings. The upside is we have an extraordinary life.
Richie Sambora
There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the only true guide you will ever have. And if you cannot hear it, you will all of your life spend your days on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls.
Howard Thurman
Duo (near the Highland neighborhood) had their best Saturday night ever. Capital Grille and Strings were sold out. The Fort had over 400 reservations. It was crazy.
Rich Grant
There is no infrastructure in the country, roads, electricity, lack of clean sanitary conditions, lack of clean water to drink. It just pulled at my heart strings to be honest with you.
Chris Stone
The man in black turns sunshine yellow in 'Ring of Fire,' the show that strings songs associated with Johnny Cash into an artificially sweetened candy necklace.
Ben Brantley
Early on in his career that (getting forward) was his (Keane's) forte. He's just shown he's got more strings to his bow than just sitting in there. I say, 'go on, on you go'. He was full of energy, as was the whole team.
Neil Lennon
We love doing the car wash. It's a lot of fun and a great way to reach out to the local community and serve with absolutely no strings attached.
Bill Martin
Most are middle-class women who are very successful, in areas like banking, the media, the law or running their own businesses - they tend to earn anything from £50,000 up to the millions. They are aged from late 20s to early 50s, and they are looking for a fun night out with no strings attached, because they simply do not have the time for a social life.
Louise Brown
Government is the 800-pound gorilla in the room — the problem with getting in bed with it, it sometimes rolls over on you. Federal money always comes with strings.
Mike Tanner
It's fun to use a capo 'cause you can get the strings to really have a bell-like sound. It's a thing I got into when I was writing songs. When I started to really write a lot, I would use the capo to try different keys and different combinations.
Carl Wilson
He got some film on me and got it to coach (Ron) Zook and the coaching staff, and they pulled a couple of strings for me.

Spencer Mann
It was terse and highly effective, written for people without much time by a person who controls the purse strings for the Republican Party.
John Walke
The instrumentation was a little different. A little more experimental this time. We had saxophone and trumpet and strings and piano. The other two (albums) I've done are more straight-up singer/songwriter. The others were real story songs and these were more poetic-slash-story songs.
Adam Carroll
They are going to pull out all the strings to try and stop the run.
Stephen Parker
In this work, I wanted him (the bass clarinet soloist) to sort of cajole the strings into going along with him. He would sort of kindly and smilingly get them to see his way.
Fred Cohen
There are no strings attached to that for us.
Kate O'connor
Each cable is about 3-feet in diameter, and within the cables are thin strings of wire that actually make up the cable themselves.
Ernesto Butcher
G-strings are uncomfortable. Girls want real knickers now.
Elle Macpherson
The electric guitar is not my instrument. Really, the nylon strings is where I have my voice. It's like asking the piano player why he doesn't play the organ.
