Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “So gladly, from the songs of modern speech
    Men turn, and see the stars, and feel the free
    Shrill wind beyond the close of heavy flowers,
    And through the music of the languid hours,
    They hear like ocean on a western beach
    The surge and thunder of the Odyssey.”
    —Andrew Lang (1844–1912)

    “While the music is performed, the cameras linger savagely over the faces of the audience. What a bottomless chasm of vacuity they reveal! Those who flock round the Beatles, who scream themselves into hysteria, whose vacant faces flicker over the TV screen, are the least fortunate of their generation, the dull, the idle, the failures . . .”
    —Paul Johnson (b. 1928)

    “Yankee Doodle, keep it up,
    Yankee Doodle, dandy,
    Mind the music and the step,
    And with the girls be handy.”
    —Richard Shuckburg (1756–1818)
