Famous quotes containing the words theme and/or song:

    “She is a theme of honor and renown,
    A spur to valiant and magnanimous deeds,
    Whose present courage may beat down our foes,
    And fame in time to come canonize us.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “I could take the Harlem night
    and wrap around you,
    Take the neon lights and make a crown,
    Take the Lenox Avenue buses,
    Taxis, subways,
    And for your love song tone their rumble down.”
    —Langston Hughes (1902–1967)
