Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or equipment:

    “Sometimes a musical phrase would perfectly sum up
    The mood of a moment. One of those lovelorn sonatas
    For wind instruments was riding past on a solemn white horse.
    Everybody wondered who the new arrival was.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “Dr. Scofield’s equipment, which you have just seen, radiated waves direct to Professor Houghland’s laboratory. When these waves came in contact with those the professor’s equipment was radiating, they created the interstellar frequency, which is the death ray.”
    —Joseph O’Donnell, and Clifford Sanforth. Arthur Perry (Bela Lugosi)
