A Young Person's Guide To King Crimson

A Young Person's Guide to King Crimson is a compilation (2LP set) by the band King Crimson, released in 1976.

Famous quotes containing the words young, guide and/or king:

    The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.
    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841–1935)

    John Eliot came to preach to the Podunks in 1657, translated the Bible into their language, but made little progress in aboriginal soul-saving. The Indians answered his pleas with: ‘No, you have taken away our lands, and now you wish to make us a race of slaves.’

    Time’s the king of men;
    He’s both their parent and he is their grave,
    And gives them what he will, not what they crave.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
