Quotations regarding 'Sin'
Humanity is the sin of God.
Theodore Parker, American Theologian (1810-1860)
I have a sweet tooth for song and music. This is my Polish sin.
Pope John Paul II, Polish Clergyman (1920-2005)
Failing to be there when a man wants her is a woman's greatest sin, except to be there when he doesn't want her.
Pope Paul VI, Italian Clergyman (1897-1978)
If it were possible to have a life absolutely free from every feeling of sin, what a terrifying vacuum it would be.
Cesare Pavese, Italian Poet (1908-1950)
I'm very conscious of developing my singing, technically and stylistically. I want it to become more individual, express more of me. That's my goal. These songs are steps along that way.
Madeleine Peyroux, American Musician
Singing is a way of escaping. It's another world. I'm no longer on earth.
Edith Piaf, French Musician (1915-1963)
How shall I lose the sin, yet keep the sense, and love the offender, yet detest the offence?
Alexander Pope, English Poet (1688-1744)
The real sin against life is to abuse and destroy beauty, even one's own even more, one's own, for that has been put in our care and we are responsible for its well-being.
Katherine Anne Porter, American Journalist (1890-1980)
Technique is the test of sincerity. If a thing isn't worth getting the technique to say, it is of inferior value.
Ezra Pound, American Poet (1885-1972)
The wages of sin are death, but by the time taxes are taken out, it's just sort of a tired feeling.
Paula Poundstone, American Comedian (1959- )
It is a grievous sin in the sight of God for any man to presume to baptize, unless God has authorized him by new revelation to baptize in his name.
Orson Pratt, American Theologian (1811-1881)
I miss my singing career very much.
Elvis Presley, American Musician (1935-1977)
I like to sing ballads the way Eddie Fisher does and the way Perry Como does. But the way I'm singing now is what makes the money.
Elvis Presley, American Musician (1935-1977)
The colored folks been singing it and playing it just like I'm doin' now, man, for more years than I know. I got it from them.
Elvis Presley, American Musician (1935-1977)
The closest I ever came to getting married was just before I started singing. In fact, my first record saved my neck.
Elvis Presley, American Musician (1935-1977)
People ask me where I got my singing style. I didn't copy my style from anybody.
Elvis Presley, American Musician (1935-1977)
Mostly singing was cathartic, writing was cathartic, therapeutic. I don't think I had a goal, particularly, to sing or put it out there for anybody.
Lisa Marie Presley, American Musician (1968- )
I remember him watching me through the crack of a door singing with a hairbrush. I was in front of his mirror. I think he wanted me to sing. He would get me on the table and make me sing sometimes or play the piano. He was very encouraging on that front.
Lisa Marie Presley, American Musician (1968- )
Hopefully I'll be successful with the singing, but there are so many other things I want to do, like acting. I'll do them one at a time first!
Katie Price, English Model (1978- )
A black man singing about a blond girl was potential trouble.
Charley Pride, American Athlete (1938- )
