Famous quotes containing the words playing and/or style:
“Give me mine angle, well to th river; there,
My music playing far off, I will betray
Tawny-finned fishes; my bended hook shall pierce
Their slimy jaws; and as I draw them up,
Ill think them every one an Antony,
And say, Ah, ha! y are caught.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Switzerland is a small, steep country, much more up and down than sideways, and is all stuck over with large brown hotels built on the cuckoo clock style of architecture.”
—Ernest Hemingway (18991961)
