Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or recordings:

    a notable prince that was called King John;
    And he ruled England with main and with might,
    For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.
    —Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 2–4)

    All radio is dead. Which means that these tape recordings I’m making are for the sake of future history. If any.
