Popular quotes about Applause! Wisdom and inspiration are here!
Glorious bouquets and storms of applause are the trimmings which every artist naturally enjoys. but to move an audience in such a role, to hear in the applause that unmistakable note which breaks through good theatre manners and comes from the heart, is to feel that you have won through to life itself.

Adrian TomineI'm not afraid to compete. It's just the opposite. Don't you see that? I'm afraid I will compete โ that's what scares me. That's why I quit the Theatre Department. Just because I'm so horribly conditioned to accept everybody else's values, and just because I like applause and people to rave about me, doesn't make it right. I'm ashamed of it. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of not having the courage to be an absolute nobody. I'm sick of myself and everybody else that wants to make some kind of a splash.
J. D. SalingerThe eternal task of song can never be finished in a single lifetime. That is the beauty and fascination of the art.

The latter excites for a moment; the former endures forever.

Dan MarinoGod gave music the power to carry his light into the darkness. Thatโs a mighty privilege. It means intentionally telling stories and writing songs that bear truth that outlasts the songs themselves. If I did this in hopes of thunderous applause and piles of cash, I would have quit years ago. But there are moments on the stage when I sense something magical, a connection with the band and the audience, when our stories intersect and suddenly weโre wading in an ancient river. Suddenly the song is secondary to the greater story being told through each of us.
