Famous quotes containing the words general and/or music:

    “At that,
    his small size,
    keen eyes,
    serviceable beak
    and general truculence
    assure his survival—”
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    “The music of an unhappy people, of the children of disappointment; they tell of death and suffering and unvoiced longing toward a truer world, of misty wanderings and hidden ways.”
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
