Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “But the dark changed to red, and torches shone,
    And deafening music shook the leaves; a troop
    Shouldered a litter with a wounded man,
    Or smote upon the string and to the sound
    Sang of the beast that gave the fatal wound.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Hell is full of musical amateurs: music is the brandy of the damned.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “... the majority of colored men do not yet think it worth while that women aspire to higher education.... The three R’s, a little music and a good deal of dancing, a first rate dress-maker and a bottle of magnolia balm, are quite enough generally to render charming any woman possessed of tact and the capacity for worshipping masculinity.”
    —Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
