I hope we can keep doing it this way – making music and art that are pure products of our influences while not really having to let the whole celebrity side of it get in the way. Then maybe more virtual bands will come out and do the same thing.
When I was six years old, I fell in love with magic. For Christmas, I got a magic box and a very old book on card manipulation. Somehow, I was more interested in pure manipulation than in all the silly little tricks in the box.
I’m a pure spirit, ha ha ha!
I started out trying to play more straight-ahead jazz. I went to Berklee in the early ’60s when it was a brand new school, and so there was no fusion music. There wasn’t a lot of mixing together of different kinds of music at that time, so jazz was kind of pure jazz.
The truth, it is said, is rarely pure or simple, yet genetics can at times seem seductively transparent.
I was around when there was only one channel and when that second channel arrived, it came with the wonderful world of Disney on a Sunday night. We would drop our bicycles and run home to see it, it was just pure escapism.
I don’t think geometric art is… I don’t like to call it that. I don’t think it’s any more pure than pop art or anything else. It doesn’t have anything to do with purity.
We don’t have a business model for health care in this country, We just have a business model for care. The way doctors and hospitals get paid is something bad has got to happen. It’s a pure reactive model.

What is ugly about life is that it so often only provides uneasy half solutions that are so seldom pure and tragic ones.
It’s far too much to say that effective hoping is the only – or even the biggest – part of what it takes to succeed. If 14% of business productivity can be attributed to hope, that means 86% is dependent on raw talent, fickle business cycles, the quality of the product you’re selling, and often pure, dumb luck.
Throughout history, people have studied pure science from a desire to understand the universe rather than practical applications for commercial gain. But their discoveries later turned out to have great practical benefits.
I just love Steven Seagal for his pure – his perspective on what being a hero is: just a purely evil, cruel perspective.
We all have to deconstruct the looks in ourselves. It’s easier if you see different cultures and different imagery than just the pure straight male gaze and that you’re aware that images are political. Not everybody is.
O Lord, help me to be pure, but not yet.
Even moderates, they can see in Trump the potential to have logjams broken and things finally get done. This makes some conservatives and some liberals furious, nervous, and me nervous a little bit, because I’m a pretty pure conservative. So that’s a potential of his leadership.
I appreciate both… for me, I think ‘Star Wars’ is more science fantasy and is based on a lot of great legendary heroes and morality plays and stuff. And ‘Star Trek’ is just pure fun. Pure science fun. And I’ve always appreciated both.
Goodness, armed with power, is corrupted; and pure love without power is destroyed.

There’s not a lot of pure evil in the world, but it’s amazing how little it takes to do great damage.
In junior high school, I was an object of pure ridicule for my dress, withdrawal, and asocial manner. Dozens of times, I saw individuals laugh and smile more in ten to fifteen minutes than I did in all my life up to then.
For, with pure water the inversion of cane sugar scarcely proceeds and subsequently it required very thorough, difficult studies before this effect and its order of magnitude were established.
When you’re happy you find pure joy in your life. There are no regrets in this state of happiness – and that’s a goal worth striving for in all areas of your life.

When you get pure joy out of ‘being’ rather than ‘doing’ or ‘seeing’, that’s when you realize how big and unexplainable some things are and being a dad is one of those very few things.
If we were driving pure hydrogen automobiles, that automobile would actually help clean up the air because the air coming out of the exhaust would be cleaner than the air going into the engine intake.
There’s eco-pragmatism, where you recognize, ‘Yeah, we live on a planet that’s permanently altered by humanity, and rather than seek to return to or preserve pure wilderness, we recognize that’s an illusion, and we proceed under the new knowledge that we live, in fact, in a human-dominated planet.’
Philosophy is altogether less pure now. It’s been impurified by science and social science and history.
The most personal thing about me is my music. The most honest, pure thing in my whole life.
Under that heart of stone beat muscles of pure flint.
The novel space is a pure space. I’m nobody once I go into that room. I’m not gay, I’m not bald, I’m not Irish. I’m not anybody. I’m nobody. I’m the guy telling the story, and the only person that matters is the person reading that story, the target. It’s to get that person to feel what I’m trying to dramatize.
The IPL is just pure, intense. You don’t need all the other stuff. I don’t believe in coaches in international cricket.

Getting into graduate school was pure luck.
Spiritual government means a pure government that doesn’t discriminate on the lines of caste, creed, or religion.

Dreaming is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which if it were available in waking, would make every man a Dante or Shakespeare.
I have never met anyone who did not support our troops. Sometimes, however, we hear accusations that someone or some group does not support the men and women serving in our Armed Forces. But this is pure demagoguery, and it is intellectually dishonest.
As long as your intention is pure, and you know what you’re in it for, then you’re alright. And I’m in it because I enjoy it. I take it seriously… real seriously. I mean I could sit and talk all day about the music.
I’m just insane. So what usually drives me is pure joy for something stupid. I’m also very visual. I’ll have an idea in my head that I really can’t shake.
It’s really fun to be in a film that’s pure entertainment, that people want to go and see. I think, in the current climate, the state of things, people want escapism.
I have 17 nieces and nephews, who are a pure delight. We have hiked and biked and fasted and prayed together.
I just always loved the storytelling aspect. Even with the production that’s happening right now in music, I still think the core of country songs are very stripped down, and they tell a story in the most pure sense.
On some levels, you can also have this feeling that we are being duped, somehow. And that the world is at play for something you would understand more if it were pure ideology. It is a very strange time and also basic things are being taken away.
As the word ‘tolerance’ grows in popularity, tolerance for pure, unadulterated Christian doctrine appears to be shrinking.
Democracy, pure democracy, has at least its foundation in a generous theory of human rights. It is founded on the natural equality of mankind. It is the cornerstone of the Christian religion. It is the first element of all lawful government upon earth.
Reagan was a pure liberation, free-and-fair election American.
If people in Russia do not take the path of traditional, pure Sufi Islam, Russia will lose out. All the other denominations, like Wahhabism, are new inventions for our country – we have never had it, and we will never accept it.
For me, whether I have money or not, it is far more important that there is an intent behind a cause that’s pure and can change the lives of certain people. If that’s there, then you will be able to get all the resources required.
The devil is busy and trying to distort and adulterate the things that are the pure essence of God.

Pure truth cannot be assimilated by the crowd; it must be communicated by contagion.
Mediaeval mythology, rich and gorgeous, is a compound like Corinthian brass, into which many pure ores have been fused, or it is a full turbid river drawn from numerous feeders, which had their sources in remote climes.
