Famous quotes containing the words baroque and/or music:

“The truth is that Mozart, Pascal, Boolean algebra, Shakespeare, parliamentary government, baroque churches, Newton, the emancipation of women, Kant, Marx, and Balanchine ballets don’t redeem what this particular civilization has wrought upon the world. The white race is the cancer of human history.”

“Not to sink under being man and wife,
But get some color and music out of life?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
