Famous quotes containing the words country and/or music:

    “What a country calls its vital economic interests are not the things which enable its citizens to live, but the things which enable it to make war. Petrol is more likely than wheat to be a cause of international conflict.”
    —Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    “If music be the food of love, play on,
    Give me excess of it that, surfeiting,
    The appetite may sicken and so die.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
