Famous quotes containing the words cafe and/or zoetrope:
“The train was crammed, the heat stifling. We feel out of sorts, but do not quite know if we are hungry or drowsy. But when we have fed and slept, life will regain its looks, and the American instruments will make music in the merry cafe described by our friend Lange. And then, sometime later, we die.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“He would diligently play
On the Zoetrope all day,
And blow the gay Pantechnicon all night.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
