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

    “What has influenced my life more than any other single thing has been my stammer. Had I not stammered I would probably ... have gone to Cambridge as my brothers did, perhaps have become a don and every now and then published a dreary book about French literature.”
    —W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)

    “We live under continual threat of two equally fearful, but seemingly opposed, destinies: unremitting banality and inconceivable terror. It is fantasy, served out in large rations by the popular arts, which allows most people to cope with these twin specters.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “Who that has heard a strain of music feared then lest he should speak extravagantly any more forever?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
