Famous quotes containing the words singing and/or fool:

    “His singing carried me back to the period of the discovery of America ... when Europeans first encountered the simple faith of the Indian. There was, indeed, a beautiful simplicity about it; nothing of the dark and savage, only the mild and infantile. The sentiments of humility and reverence chiefly were expressed.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “What is he for a fool that betroths himself to unquietness?”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
