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

    “To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind; or, if not, should never be published at all.... A message from the gods should be delivered at once. It is damnably blasphemous to talk about the autumn season and so on. How dare the author or publisher demand a price for doing his duty, the highest and most honourable to which a man can be called?”
    —Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)

    “And all the popular statesmen say
    That purity built up the State
    And after kept it from decay;
    Admonish us to cling to that
    And let all base ambition be,
    For intellect would make us proud....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Since a man must bring
    To music what his mother spanked him for
    When he was two ...”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
