Famous quotes containing the words country and/or music:
“Some people ... cant see the country for the money in their pockets. They think their state is the country, or the way they live is the country. And theyre willing to split the country because of it.”
—Dan Totheroh (18951976)
“Have you ever been up in your plane at night, alone, somewhere, 20,000 feet above the ocean?... Did you ever hear music up there?... Its the music a mans spirit sings to his heart, when the earths far away and there isnt any more fear. Its the high, fine, beautiful sound of an earth-bound creature who grew wings and flew up high and looked straight into the face of the future. And caught, just for an instant, the unbelievable vision of a free man in a free world.”
—Dalton Trumbo (19051976)
