Famous quotes containing the words song and/or development:

    “A song is no song unless the circumstance is free and fine. If a singer sing from a sense of duty or from seeing no way to escape, I had rather have none. Those only can sleep who do not care to sleep; and those only write or speak best who do not too much respect the writing or the speaking.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I can see ... only one safe rule for the historian: that he should recognize in the development of human destinies the play of the contingent and the unforeseen.”
    —H.A.L. (Herbert Albert Laurens)
