Famous quotes containing the words songs, inspired, murray and/or life:

    “People fall out of windows, trees tumble down,
    Summer is changed to winter, the young grow old
    The air is full of children, statues, roofs
    And snow. The theatre is spinning round,
    Colliding with deaf-mute churches and optical trains.
    The most massive sopranos are singing songs of scales.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “The inspired scribbler always has the gift for gossip in our common usage ... he or she can always inspire the commonplace with an uncommon flavor, and transform trivialities by some original grace or sympathy or humor or affection.”
    —Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)

    “Strung out and spotty, you wriggle and sigh
    and kiss all the fellows and make them all die.”
    —Les Murray (b. 1938)

    “The writing career is not a romantic one. The writer’s life may be colorful, but his work itself is rather drab.”
