Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or comedians:
“Creative force, like a musical composer, goes on unweariedly repeating a simple air or theme, now high, now low, in solo, in chorus, ten thousand times reverberated, till it fills earth and heaven with the chant.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Men who think deeply appear to be comedians in their dealings with others because they always have to feign superficiality in order to be understood.”
