Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or theater:

    I was with Hercules and Cadmus once,
    When in a wood of Crete they bayed the bear
    With hounds of Sparta: never did I hear
    Such gallant chiding; for besides the groves,
    The skies, the fountains, every region near
    Seemed all one mutual cry. I never heard
    So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The theater needs continual reminders that there is nothing more debasing than the work of those who do well what is not worth doing at all.
    Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
