Famous quotes containing the words published, popular and/or music:

    “Until the Women’s Movement, it was commonplace to be told by an editor that he’d like to publish more of my poems, but he’d already published one by a woman that month ... this attitude was the rule rather than the exception, until the mid-sixties. Highest compliment was to be told, “You write like a man.””
    —Maxine Kumin (b. 1925)

    “If they have a popular thought they have to go into a darkened room and lie down until it passes.”
    —Kelvin MacKenzie (b. 1946)

    “If I could believe the Quakers banned music because church music is so damn bad, I should view them with approval.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
