Famous quotes containing the words song and/or development:

    “Even their song is not a sure thing.
    It is not a language;
    it is a kind of breathing.
    They are two asthmatics
    whose breath sobs in and out
    through a small fuzzy pipe.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “A defective voice will always preclude an artist from achieving the complete development of his art, however intelligent he may be.... The voice is an instrument which the artist must learn to use with suppleness and sureness, as if it were a limb.”
    —Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
