Movies are pieces of film stuck together in a certain rhythm, an absolute beat, like a musical composition. The rhythm you create affects the audience.
John Carpenter
Writers are not just people who sit down and write. They hazard themselves. Every time you compose a book your composition of yourself is at stake.
E.L. Doctorow
When you know the lyrics to a tune, you have some kind of insight as to it`s composition. If you don`t understand what it`s about, you`re depriving yourself of being really able to communicate this poem.
Dexter Gordon
There`s an ecstasy about doing something really good on film: the composition of a shot, the drama within the shot, the texture... It`s palpable.
William Shatner
There is much modern music that is better adapted to a wind combination than to a string, although for obvious reasons originally scored for an orchestra. If in such cases the interpretation is equal to the composition the balance of a wind combination is...
John Philip Sousa
There are particular images that I like. Allegro is composed of a series of still life photographs that has been put to speed. There is so much care that has gone into the composition of the cinematography.
Helena Christensen
The composition of a single melody is born out of a bit of text, perhaps the first line, but it can also be the entire strophe; it can even be the poem`s overall form.
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau
So the thing that`s beautiful about the Rolleiflex is that I open the camera up from the top and put my face in and that the camera`s all about composition and all about light.
Matthew Modine
Patriotism is strong nationalistic feeling for a country whose borders and whose legitimacy and whose ethnic composition is taken for granted.
Amanda Uhry
Of all the species of literary composition, perhaps biography is the most delightful. The attention concentrated on one individual gives a unity to the materials of which it is composed, which is wanting in general history.
Robert Hall
Now to consult the rules of composition before making a picture is a little like consulting the law of gravitation before going for a walk. Such rules and laws are deduced from the accomplished fact; they are the products of reflection.
Albert Toutounzian
My vocation is more in composition really than anything else - building up harmonies using the guitar, orchestrating the guitar like an army, a guitar army.
Jimmy Page
My training in music and composition then led me to a kind of musical language process in which, for example, the sound of the words I play with has to expose their true meaning against their will so to speak.
Elfriede Jelinek
My intention here is to make it clear that not a single cell of my composition, here in regard to The Raven, is found by chance or intuition, that the composition moved towards perfection with the precision and inevitability of a mathematical equation.
Maurice Ravel

Maurice Ravel
My father taught me to paint when I was young with watercolors and so I learned at a very young age the essential elements of the value of light and composition.
Matthew Modine
Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men.
Aimee Litka
It`s not for the money this time. The one thing we can`t live with is class size and composition. We know that in going out, we`re going to harm students, but this time, staying in the class will harm students. Do we go out, or do we stay in the class and...
Bruce Anderson
Is it not the business of the conductor to convey to the public in its dramatic form the central idea of a composition; and how can he convey that idea successfully if he does not enter heart and soul into the life of the music and the tale it unfolds?
John Philip Sousa
