Quotations regarding 'Sin'
Nothing I have done professionally will top the feeling I got when singing with John Farnham at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.
Olivia Newton-John, Musician (1948- )
Singing is the love of my life, but I was ready to give it all up because I couldn't handle people talking about how fat I was.
Stevie Nicks, American Musician (1948- )
Men should be judged not by their tint of skin, the gods they serve, the vintage they drink, nor by the way they fight, or love, or sin, but by the quality of the thought they think.
Adela Florence Nicolson, English Poet (1865-1904)
Original sin is that thing about man which makes him capable of conceiving of his own perfection and incapable of achieving it.
Reinhold Niebuhr, American Theologian (1892-1971)
All human sin seems so much worse in its consequences than in its intentions.
Reinhold Niebuhr, American Theologian (1892-1971)
Today I love myself as I love my god: who could charge me with a sin today? I know only sins against my god; but who knows my god?
Friedrich Nietzsche, German Philosopher (1844-1900)
Sincerity and competence is a strong combination. In politics, it is everything.
Peggy Noonan, American Writer (1950- )
I bet Maurice Gibb's heart monitor was singing the tune of Stayin' Alive.
Graham Norton, Irish Celebrity (1963- )
But this is pretty new for me, both songwriting and singing.
Krist Novoselic, American Musician (1965- )
When I'm up on stage, I don't think about anything except the song I'm singing. Anyway, the majority of my audience is female, and I can't think that many of them want to see me a French maid outfit somehow!
Louise Nurding, British Musician (1974- )
Singing has always seemed to me the most perfect means of expression. It is so spontaneous. And after singing, I think the violin. Since I cannot sing, I paint.
Georgia O'Keeffe, American Artist (1887-1986)
The first question at that time in poetry was simply the question of honesty, of sincerity.
George Oppen, American Poet (1908-1984)
In some sort of crude sense, which no vulgarity, no humor, no overstatement can quite extinguish, the physicists have known sin; and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose.
J. Robert Oppenheimer, American Physicist (1904-1967)
Then, in the next place, we must know that every being which is endowed with reason, and transgresses its statutes and limitations, is undoubtedly involved in sin by swerving from rectitude and justice.
Origen, Theologian
For a creative writer possession of the 'truth' is less important than emotional sincerity.
George Orwell, British Author (1903-1950)
Do you mortify? Do you make it your daily work? Be always at it whilst you live; cease not a day from this work; be killing sin or it will be killing you.
John Owen, English Theologian
Vanity is my favourite sin.
Al Pacino, American Actor (1940- )
I think that one of Elvis' charms was that he could sing almost any kind of music. I am sure that in his heart, which I don't know what was there, but just from his singing I could feel that he was very partial to gospel music.
Patti Page, American Musician (1927- )
I will be singing primarily all the songs from the musicals that I have been in from over the years.
Elaine Paige, English Musician (1948- )
Remorse is the pain of sin.
Theodore Parker, American Theologian (1810-1860)
