A good short-story writer has an instinct for sketching in just enough background to ground the specific story.
Lynn Abbey
A liberal education... frees a man from the prison-house of his class, race, time, place, background, family and even his nation.
Robert M. Hutchins
A person shows himself for an instant as in a photograph but clearer and in the background something which is bigger than his shadow.
Tomas Transtromer
According to this view, democracy is a product of western culture, and it cannot be applied to the Middle East which has a different cultural, religious, sociological and historical background.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Against the dark background of this contemporary civilization of well-being, even the arts tend to mingle, to lose their identity.
Eugenio Montale
All my songs were solo voices. Just me singing. In fact, that was the gimmick - no gimmick. Just singing straight with not too much background.
Bobby Vinton
And in my own life, in my own small way, I've tried to give back to this country that has given me so much. That's why I left a job at a law firm for a career in public service, working to empower young people to volunteer in their communities. Because I believe that each of us - no matter what our age or background or walk of life - each of us has something to contribute to the life of this nation.
Michelle Obama
And my career, the things that have happened have happened because of my music education background.
Jon Secada
As a regent, I hope to bring that important perspective of a typical family visitor in combination with my background as a Member of Congress and a proponent of the Smithsonian's efforts to reach all Americans.
Xavier Becerra

Jonathan Coe
At the time, I didn't know that bass would not be enough for me. I'm not a bass player because bass is always a background instrument even to this very day.
Eberhard Weber
At the time, I was making good money doing background work and demos.
Dee Dee Warwick
Because of my background in theater and radio acting, I knew that I could make a living as an actor.
Casey Kasem
Before the arrival of the Credit Union, people who were from the poor background or a working class background couldn't borrow from banks.
John Hume
Bergman has a very special eye for people. His background taught him to listen and to feel.
Max von Sydow
Bluegrass is really a big part of my background.
Travis Tritt
Both parents were very encouraging - especially my father. My father thought the sun rose and set with me. Neither one had a musical background or any musical talent. They liked classical music, but neither could carry a tune.
Gordon Getty
But by providing the background picture - the universal situational awareness that we desire - by showing the anomalies, the Space-Based Radar will change the nature of how we do our analysis and our intelligence.
Stephen Cambone
But I came from a conservative Republican background.
Christopher Meloni
But I would lie on the floor and analyze everything. I'd listen to all the strings and the background vocals on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack and try to pick out the different instruments.
