Famous quotes containing the words incidental and/or music:
“What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”

“Not to sink under being man and wife,
But get some color and music out of life?”
