Famous quotes containing the words theme and/or tune:
“The saying, “The Magyar is much too lazy to be bored,” is worth thinking about. Only the most subtle and active animals are capable of boredom.—A theme for a great poet would be God’s boredom on the seventh day of creation.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Oh, how cruelly sweet are the echoes that start
When Memory plays an old tune on the heart!”
—Eliza Cook (1818–1889)
