Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or instruments:

    “Through man, and woman, and sea, and star,

    Saw musical order, and pairing rhymes.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The universe appears to me like an immense, inexorable torture-garden.... Passions, greed, hatred, and lies; law, social institutions, justice, love, glory, heroism, and religion: these are its monstrous flowers and its hideous instruments of eternal human suffering.”
