Rite Quotations
My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them.
Winston Churchill
I think it's sort of a rite of passage for a British actor to try and get the American accent and have a good crack at doing that.
Orlando Bloom
Freedom Summer, the massive voter education project in Mississippi, was 1964. I graduated from high school in 1965. So becoming active was almost a rite of passage.
Danny Glover
The problem for me, still today, is that I write purely with one dramatic structure and that is the rite of passage. I'm not really skilled in any other. Rock and roll itself can be described as music to accompany the rite of passage.
Pete Townshend
When we're at the end of The Rite of Spring or of a Bruckner symphony, I want people to feel the music physically.
Esa-Pekka Salonen
You can count on one hand the number of Novus Ordo churches in this country that feature a fully Catholic music program of any quality, consistent with the Roman rite tradition.
Richard Morris

Richard Morris
My rite of passage into my brave new world, life on the road.
Kenny Loggins

G. I. Gurdjieff
Cinema was my rite of passage.
John Singleton
