Viola Quotes

• Mi historia comienza en el mar... un peligroso viaje a una tierra desconocida... un naufragio... Las aguas salvajes rugen y se agitan... El valiente navío se hace pedazos, y todas las almas indefensas en su interior se ahogan... todas excepto una... una dama... cuya alma es más grande que el océano... y su espíritu más fuerte que el abrazo del mar... No para ella un final acuático, sino una nueva vida que comienza en una orilla extraña. Será una historia de amor... porque ella será mi heroína para siempre. Y su nombre será... Viola.

• The Violins waltzed. The Cellos and Basses provided accompaniment. The Violas mourned their fate, while the Concertmaster showed off. The Flutes did bird imitations…repeatedly, and the reed instruments had the good taste to admire my jacket. The Trumpets held a parade in honor of our great nation, while the French Horns waxed nostalgic about something or other. The Trombones had too much to drink. The Percussion beat the band, and the Tuba stayed home playing cards with his landlady, the Harp, taking sips of warm milk a blue little cup. “But the Composer is still dead.

• The Nova Scotian black community always remembered Viola Desmond - they didn't lose track of her, ever. Her memory was very much alive there, but the rest of us didn't know anything about her. It's just so typical of Canadians that we know Rosa Parks, in that "bad country to the south of us" - they needed this lovely, courageous woman to sit down in the front of the bus - but we wouldn't know ours, because of course we "don't have racism in Canada."

• A menudo he deseado tener alguna afición suave y socialmente aceptable a la que pudiera recurrir en momentos como éste. Ya sabes, tocar el violín (o era la viola) como Sherlock Holmes, o tal vez tocar el órgano de tubos como la versión Disney del Capitán Nemo. Pero no lo hago. Soy algo así como el equivalente arcano del clásico friki informático. Hago magia, de una forma u otra, y eso es todo. Tengo que buscarme la vida, un día de estos.

• I was raised by my great-great aunt. I was adopted within our family. My mother had me when she was, I think, 15, 16. They tried to get her to have an abortion and she refused. So, my 'mama' adopted me, which was really her great aunt, which was really my great-great aunt, who was named Viola Dickerson. I was told that my mother was my sister.

• It's an important moment [win an Emmy]. I just feel like I want it to happen tonight, either for myself or Viola [Davis] so we can get past it, so it's not big news anymore. I mean, it is 2015. We have a black president.

• ¿Es que nunca había tenido tanta hambre como para comerse una flor? ¿No sabía que se podían comer margaritas, lirios de día, pensamientos y caléndulas? ¿Que con suficiente hambre, una persona podía consumir las brillantes caras de las violas, incluso los tallos de los dientes de león y las amargas caderas de las rosas?

• Viola Davis keeps saying this movie should be called The Big Responsibility instead of The Help, because there were so many groups of people that you wanna do right by. You want to do right by Southerners and the African-American community and the readers of the book and the people that grew up with domestics and the people who worked as domestics. There's a million different groups that you're trying to please and satisfy that you're worried about not loving what comes across onscreen.

• I found Viola Desmond was the first woman whose case was taken up in the courts, and it wasn't that she tried to sue them for throwing her out of the theatre; it was that they took the law and used it to arrest her. That was really shocking to me. We had no laws in Canada actually requiring segregation, like they did in the United States. But here we had people using the law - the amusements tax act - to enforce segregation, and our courts allowed them to do that.

• It's hard to imagine the whole punk movement without The Velvet Underground. I toured with them when they did their reunion tour, and no one sounds like that; they are a very unique-sounding band. They have a lot of noise, they have a viola, they have a drummer that's standing up, certainly they have influenced my guitar playing, but hopefully after 12 records you start to sound like yourself.
