Famous quotes containing the words debate and/or continuum:
“Like man and wife who nightly keep
Inconsequent debate in sleep
As they dream side by side.”

“The further jazz moves away from the stark blue continuum and the collective realities of Afro-American and American life, the more it moves into academic concert-hall lifelessness, which can be replicated by any middle class showing off its music lessons.”
