Famous quotes containing the words summer, concert and/or series:

    “The fire in leaf and grass
    so green it seems
    each summer the last summer.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “... in the cities there are thousands of rolling stones like me. We are all alike; we have no ties, we know nobody, we own nothing. When one of us dies, they scarcely know where to bury him.... We have no house, no place, no people of our own. We live in the streets, in the parks, in the theatres. We sit in restaurants and concert halls and look about at the hundreds of our own kind and shudder.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    “There is in every either-or a certain naivete which may well befit the evaluator, but ill- becomes the thinker, for whom opposites dissolve in series of transitions.”
    —Robert Musil (1880–1942)
