Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “Yankee Doodle, keep it up,
    Yankee Doodle, dandy,

    And with the girls be handy.”

    “The music stopp’d, and I stood still,
    And found myself outside the Hill,
    Left alone against my will,
    To go now limping as before,
    And never hear of that country more!””
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    “Not to sink under being man and wife,
    But get some color and music out of life?”
