Famous quotes containing the words theme and/or music:

    The theme of my autobiography could only be repetition.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    If this be love, to clothe me with dark thoughts,
    Haunting untrodden paths to wail apart;
    My pleasures horror, music tragic notes,
    Tears in mine eyes and sorrow at my heart.
    If this be love, to live a living death,
    Then do I love and draw this weary breath.
    Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
