Famous quotes containing the words drama and/or music:
“War is the supreme drama of a completely mechanized society.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
“Franceska: I was happy in the life I built up for myself. I put a fine high wall of music around me and nothing could touch me. I was safe and secure. And then you had to come along and knock it all down and I hate you for that.
Maxwell: On the contrary, you love me.”
—Muriel Box (b. 1905)
