Famous quotes containing the words concert and/or companion:
“Man is head, chest and stomach. Each of these animals operates, more often than not, individually. I eat, I feel, I even, although rarely, think.... This jungle crawls and teems, is hungry, roars, gets angry, devours itself, and its cacophonic concert does not even stop when you are asleep.”
—René Daumal (1908–1944)
“Religion which lays so many restraints upon us, is a troublesome companion to those who will lay no restraints upon themselves.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
