Famous quotes containing the words led and/or concert:

    We are led to Believe a Lie
    When we see not Thro’ the Eye
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    Man is head, chest and stomach. Each of these animals operates, more often than not, individually. I eat, I feel, I even, although rarely, think.... This jungle crawls and teems, is hungry, roars, gets angry, devours itself, and its cacophonic concert does not even stop when you are asleep.
    René Daumal (1908–1944)
