Famous quotes containing the word songs:

    “Dylan is to me the perfect symbol of the anti-artist in our society. He is against everything—the last resort of someone who doesn’t really want to change the world.... Dylan’s songs accept the world as it is.”
    —Ewan MacColl (1915–1989)

    “Let me make the superstitions of a nation and I care not who makes its laws or its songs either.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “O women, kneeling by your altar-rails long hence,
    When songs I wove for my beloved hide the prayer,
    And smoke from this dead heart drifts through the violet air
    And covers away the smoke of myrrh and frankincense;
    Bend down and pray for all that sin I wove in song....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
