Marian Anderson Award

Famous quotes containing the words marian, anderson and/or award:

    The master, the swabber, the boatswain and I,
    The gunner and his mate,
    Loved Mall, Meg, and Marian and Margery,
    But none of us cared for Kate;
    For she had a tongue with a tang,
    Would cry to a sailor, ‘Go hang!’
    She loved not the savour of tar nor of pitch,
    Yet a tailor might scratch her where’er she did itch:
    Then to sea, boys, and let her go hang.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Art to me was a state, it didn’t need to be an accomplishment. By any of the standards of production, achievement, performance, I was not an artist. But I always thought of myself as one.
    —Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)

    The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)
