Famous quotes containing the words country, vocal and/or performance:
“Lars Jorgensen: Its this country killed my boy. Yes, by golly, I tell you Ethan
Mrs. Jorgensen: Now Lars. It just so happens we be Texicans. A Texican is nothing but a human man way out on a limb, this year, and next, maybe for a hundred more. But I dont think itll be forever. Someday this countrys going to be a fine good place to be. Maybe it needs our bones in the ground before that time can come.”
—Frank S. Nugent (19081965)
“Prayer is
The world in tune,
A spirit-voice,
And vocal joys,
Whose echo is Heavens bliss.”
—Henry Vaughan (16221695)
“Nobody can misunderstand a boy like his own mother.... Mothers at present can bring children into the world, but this performance is apt to mark the end of their capacities. They cant even attend to the elementary animal requirements of their offspring. It is quite surprising how many children survive in spite of their mothers.”
—Norman Douglas (18681952)
