A system is in equilibrium when the forces constituting it are arranged in such a way as to compensate each other, like the two weights pulling at the arms of a pair of scales.
Rudolf Arnheim
A young musician plays scales in his room and only bores his family. A beginning writer, on the other hand, sometimes has the misfortune of getting into print.
Marguerite Yourcenar
I didn't take lessons, and I don't know my scales.
Lindsey Buckingham
I do not see scales as abstract.
James Galway
I don't play pyrotechnic scales. I play about frustration, patience, anger. Music is an extension of my soul.
Dick Dale
I had been playing since I was 2 years old, never remembering a life without music, always playing everything naturally and mostly by ear, and all the grownups wanted were more scales and drudgery out of me.
Lara St. John
I missed out on my teenage years. I led a sheltered life. I was practicing scales instead of playing football.
John Cale
I'm not technical. When I listen to music, I gravitate more toward the sonic aspect of it. The technical stuff of it, I get bored with it. These long solos? OK, already. You know your scales, big deal. I know it, too, but I don't want to do that.
Joey Santiago
I've been really fortunate to be able to do different kinds of films in different scales, different genres, different kinds of roles, and that is important to me.
Keanu Reeves
In my district, the budget scales back and eliminates several long-term shore protection projects important to the safety and economic security of Long Island.
Tim Bishop
Just because you know umpteen billion scales, it doesn't mean you have to use them all in a solo.
Kirk Hammett
Religion is more than life. Remember that his own religion is the truest to every man even if it stands low in the scales of philosophical comparison.
Mahatma Gandhi
Scales played in the correct musical way are very exciting and rewarding.
James Galway
Self-delusion is pulling in your stomach when you step on the scales.
Paul Sweeney
The concept is basically; that the pieces we know and love are made up of scales, arpeggios, and the like.
Lara St. John
The injuries we do and those we suffer are seldom weighed in the same scales.
Aesop
Those nations have a very great responsibility at this juncture of the world's affairs, for by throwing their joint weight into the scales of history on the right side, they may tip the balance decisively in favour of peace.
Arthur Henderson
We will cut programs, we will try to rein in the size of the bureaucracy. We will bring federal pay scales that have become so exaggerated into line with market rates.
Eric Cantor
Well, Steve Vai joined my dad's band right around the time when I actually started playing guitar. So he gave me a couple of lessons on fundamentals, and gave me some scales and practice things to work on. But I pretty much learned everything by ear.
Dweezil Zappa
What that book does for me is give me the tools in the same way that I had the tools when I learned the regular scales or the alphabet. If you give me the tools, the syntax, and the grammar, it still doesn't tell me how to write Ulysses.
