Famous quotes containing the words chamber and/or music:

    “The fate of the country does not depend on how you vote at the polls,—the worst man is as strong as the best at that game; it does not depend on what kind of paper you drop into the ballot- box once a year, but on what kind of a man you drop from your chamber into the street every morning.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “We often feel sad in the presence of music without words; and often more than that in the presence of music without music.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
