Famous quotes containing the words monuments and/or melodies:

    If the Revolution has the right to destroy bridges and art monuments whenever necessary, it will stop still less from laying its hand on any tendency in art which, no matter how great its achievement in form, threatens to disintegrate the revolutionary environment or to arouse the internal forces of the Revolution, that is, the proletariat, the peasantry and the intelligentsia, to a hostile opposition to one another. Our standard is, clearly, political, imperative and intolerant.
    Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)

    I tawt I taw a puddy tat a-cweepin’ up on me.
    Bob Clampett, U.S. animator. Tweety’s running gag, in Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies (animation series)
