Famous quotes containing the words marcus and/or clarke:

    “We fight our way through the massed and leveled collective safe taste of the Top 40, just looking for a little something we can call our own. But when we find it and jam the radio to hear it again it isn’t just ours—it is a link to thousands of others who are sharing it with us. As a matter of a single song this might mean very little; as culture, as a way of life, you can’t beat it.”
    —Greil Marcus (b. 1945)

    ““Wherever there’s Kellys there’s trouble,” said Burke,
    “Wherever fighting’s the game,
    Or a spice of danger in grown man’s work,”
    Said Kelly, “you’ll find my name.”
    —Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)
