Famous quotes containing the words songs, written, barry, mann and/or weil:

    “Heaven has a Sea of Glass on which angels go sliding every afternoon. There are many golden streets, but the principal thoroughfares are Amen Street and Hallelujah Avenue, which intersect in front of the Throne. These streets play tunes when walked on, and all shoes have songs in them.”
    —For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “A classic is a book that doesn’t have to be written again.”
    —Carl Van Doren (1885–1950)

    “Let’s face it, we became ingrown, clannish, and retarded. Cut off from the mainstream of humanity, we came to believe that pink is “flesh-color”, that mayonnaise is a nutrient, and that Barry Manilow is a musician.”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    “A man’s dying is more the survivors’ affair than his own.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    “When science, art, literature, and philosophy are simply the manifestation of personality, they are on a level where glorious and dazzling achievements are possible, which can make a man’s name live for thousands of years. But above this level, far above, separated by an abyss, is the level where the highest things are achieved. These things are essentially anonymous.”
    —Simone Weil (1909–1943)
