Famous quotes containing the words fiddle and/or styles:

    “But there’s another knowledge that my heart destroys
    As the fox in the old fable destroyed the Spartan boy’s
    Because it proves that things both can and cannot be;
    That the swordsmen and the ladies can still keep company;
    Can pay the poet for a verse and hear the fiddle sound,
    That I am still their servant though all are underground.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “There are only two styles of portrait painting; the serious and the smirk.”
    —Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
