Folk Festivals

Famous quotes containing the words folk and/or festivals:

“The ties between gentle folk are as pure as water; the links between scoundrels are as thick as honey.”
—Chinese proverb.

“This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
