Famous quotes containing the words stand and/or close:

    I can’t stand to sing the same song the same way two nights in succession, let alone two years or ten years. If you can, then it ain’t music, it’s close-order drill or exercise or yodeling or something, not music.
    Billie Holiday (1915–1959)

    When you close your eyes to tragedy, you close your eyes to greatness.
    Stephen Vizinczey (b. 1933)
