Famous quotes containing the words fiddle and/or styles:

    “If you love music, hear it; go to operas, concerts and pay fiddlers to play to you; but I insist on your neither piping nor fiddling yourself. It puts a gentleman in a very frivolous, contemptible light.... Few things would mortify me more than to see you bearing a part in a concert, with a fiddle under your chin, or a pipe in your mouth.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

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