Famous quotes containing the words rock and/or music:

    “Safe upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand:
    Come and see my shining palaces built upon the sand.”
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    “So gladly, from the songs of modern speech
    Men turn, and see the stars, and feel the free
    Shrill wind beyond the close of heavy flowers,
    And through the music of the languid hours,
    They hear like ocean on a western beach
    The surge and thunder of the Odyssey.”
    —Andrew Lang (1844–1912)
