Famous quotes containing the words music and/or festival:

    I think sometimes, could I only have music on my own terms; could I live in a great city and know where I could go whenever I wished the ablution and inundation of musical waves,—that were a bath and a medicine.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The surest guide to the correctness of the path that women take is joy in the struggle. Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.
