The more technique you have, the less you have to worry about it. The more technique there is, the less there is.

Guitar players in the nineties seem to be reacting against the technique oriented eighties.

The analytic psychotherapist thus has a threefold battle to wage -- in his own mind against the forces which seek to drag him down from the analytic level; outside the analysis, against opponents who dispute the importance he attaches to the sexual instinctual forces and hinder him from making use of them in his scientific technique; and inside the analysis, against his patients, who at first behave like opponents but later on reveal the overvaluation of sexual life which dominates them, and who try to make him captive to their socially untamed passion.

The pace of science forces the pace of technique. Theoretical physics forces atomic energy on us; the successful production of the fission bomb forces upon us the manufacture of the hydrogen bomb. We do not choose our problems, we do not choose our products; we are pushed, we are forced -- by what? By a system which has no purpose and goal transcending it, and which makes man its appendix.

Technique is communication: the two words are synonymous in conductors.
|
The mere mechanical technique of acting can be taught, but the spirit that is to give life to lifeless forms must be born in a man. No dramatic college can teach its pupils to think or to feel. It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression.

I have found that being honest is the best technique I can use. Right up front, tell people what you're trying to accomplish and what you're willing to sacrifice to accomplish it.

I train myself mentally with visualization. The morning of a tournament, before I put my feet on the floor, I visualize myself making perfect runs with emphasis on technique, all the way through to what my personal best is in practice.... The more you work with this type of visualization, especially when you do it on a day-to-day basis, you'll actually begin to feel your muscles contracting at the appropriate times.

He had mastered the fatal technique of believing his own lies.
|
Technique is noticed most markedly in the case of those who have not mastered it.
|
Technique is really personality. That is the reason why the artist cannot teach it, why the pupil cannot learn it, and why the aesthetic critic can understand it. To the great poet, there is only one method of music -- his own. To the great painter, there is only one manner of painting -- that which he himself employs. The aesthetic critic, and the aesthetic critic alone, can appreciate all forms and all modes. It is to him that Art makes her appeal.

Everyone sees his size. But I really like his technique. He knows how to use his hands and move his feet. He's played this system and proven himself in this season by playing at a high level.
|
In science as in love, too much concentration on technique can often lead to impotence.
|
Can a society in which thought and technique are scientific persist for a long period, as, for example, ancient Egypt persisted, or does it necessarily contain within itself forces which must bring either decay or explosion?
|
By concentrating on precision, one arrives at technique, but by concentrating on technique one does not arrive at precision.
|
A successful social technique consists perhaps in finding unobjectionable means for individual self-assertion.
|
Literature could be said to be a sort of disciplined technique for arousing certain emotions.

Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.
|
Technique is the test of sincerity. If a thing isn't worth getting the technique to say, it is of inferior value.
|
Other composers have taken this particular technique much further than I in the meantime, with the result that the Law of Diminishing Returns has begun to apply.
|
A technique succeeds in mathematical physics, not by a clever trick, or a happy accident, but because it expresses some aspect of a physical truth.

Great dancers are not great because of the technique, they are great because of their passion

Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. E...

If you want a quality, act as if you already had it. Try the ''as if'' technique.
