Famous quotes containing the word music:
“Not to sink under being man and wife,
But get some color and music out of life?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“If mass communications blend together harmoniously, and often unnoticeably, art, politics, religion, and philosophy with commercials, they bring these realms of culture to their common denominator—the commodity form. The music of the soul is also the music of salesmanship. Exchange value, not truth value, counts.”
—Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
