10 QUOTES WITH «JUXTAPOSITION»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word juxtaposition.
1
Steven Bochco
'Hill Street,' because of the wacky nature of many of our characters, really allowed us to indulge a kind of cheek-to-jowl juxtaposition of high drama with very low humor.
2
Eugene Chadbourne
I play these sort of comical instruments I invented, like the electric rake and the electric plunger. I do a lot of almost stand-up comedy material. Just the juxtaposition of the different styles in itself sometimes is funny. Like, I do sort of an acoustic version of 'Purple Haze' that has some bluegrass licks in it.
3
Arthur Hugh Clough
Well, I know, after all, it is only juxtaposition, juxtaposition, in short; and what is juxtaposition?
4
Saskia de Brauw
I think it would be a lot easier if I said, 'I feel like a dude,' but I was raised by a southern mom, so I know how to put on lipstick and walk in heels and rock that look. It's exactly that juxtaposition that confuses people.
5
Don DeLillo
I like the construction of sentences and the juxtaposition of words-not just how they sound or what they mean, but even what they look like.

7
Geoff Downes

Tibor Fischer
Miami, in many ways, is a quintessentially American city. The juxtaposition of showy wealth with dire pennilessness, the tussle of glitz and decay doesn't come any more marked than here.
9
Learned Hand
Words are not pebbles in alien juxtaposition.
10
Jonah Hill
I love my parents. But I'm almost 28 and it's not fun to be asked, 'What are you doing today? What do you want for dinner? When are you going to be home?' It just makes you feel like a kid. It's this juxtaposition of feeling annoyed and really lucky to have people who love you so much.
