Famous quotes containing the words song and/or appearances:

    “I can’t stand to sing the same song the same way two nights in succession, let alone two years or ten years. If you can, then it ain’t music, it’s close-order drill or exercise or yodeling or something, not music.”
    —Billie Holiday (1915–1959)

    “What I often forget about students, especially undergraduates, is that surface appearances are misleading. Most of them are at base as conventional as Presbyterian deacons.”
    —Muriel Beadle (b. 1915)
