Famous quotes containing the words songs, song and/or cycles:

    “The hills are alive with the sound of music, with songs they have sung for a thousand years.”
    —Oscar Hammerstein II (1895–1960)

    “Lest all the song notes
    pause and break
    across a blood-stained throat
    gone songless,
    turn back.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “The stars which shone over Babylon and the stable in Bethlehem still shine as brightly over the Empire State Building and your front yard today. They perform their cycles with the same mathematical precision, and they will continue to affect each thing on earth, including man, as long as the earth exists.”
    —Linda Goodman (b. 1929)
