Famous quotes containing the words country and/or music:

    No author, without a trial, can conceive of the difficulty of writing a romance about a country where there is no shadow, no antiquity, no mystery, no picturesque and gloomy wrong, nor anything but a commonplace prosperity, in broad and simple daylight, as is happily the case with my dear native land.
    Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864)

    A lot of pop music is about stealing pocket money from children.
    Ian Anderson (b. 1947)
