Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or numbers:

    “Syncopations are no indication of light or trashy music, and to shy bricks at “hateful ragtime” no longer passes for musical culture.”
    —Scott Joplin (1868–1917)

    “Publishers are notoriously slothful about numbers, unless they’re attached to dollar signs—unlike journalists, quarterbacks, and felony criminal defendents who tend to be keenly aware of numbers at all times.”
    —Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
