Famous quotes containing the words music and/or educators:

    “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)

    “The great want of our race is perfect educators to train new-born minds, who are infallible teachers of what is right and true.”
    —Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
