Famous quotes containing the words folk and/or song:
“I have usually found that there was method in his madness.
Some folk might say there was madness in his method.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (18591930)
“There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artists relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artists concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
