Silly Symphony

Famous quotes containing the words silly and/or symphony:

“No man is exempt from saying silly things; the mischief is to say them deliberately.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

“The truth is, as every one knows, that the great artists of the world are never Puritans, and seldom even ordinarily respectable. No virtuous man—that is, virtuous in the Y.M.C.A. sense—has ever painted a picture worth looking at, or written a symphony worth hearing, or a book worth reading, and it is highly improbable that the thing has ever been done by a virtuous woman.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
