Famous quotes containing the words country and/or music:

    “No country is so peaceful as the one that leads into death. Life arches above one’s head like a bridgespan, and below it flows the water, carries the boat, takes it further.”
    —Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)

    “This music crept by me upon the waters,
    Allaying both their fury and my passion
    With its sweet air; thence have I followed it,
    Or it hath drawn me rather.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
