Famous quotes containing the words department and/or music:
“The African race evidently are made to excel in that department which lies between the sensuousness and the intellectual—what we call the elegant arts.

—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
“Who that has heard a strain of music feared then lest he should speak extravagantly any more forever?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
