Famous quotes containing the words marcus and/or valerius:

    “We fight our way through the massed and leveled collective safe taste of the Top 40, just looking for a little something we can call our own. But when we find it and jam the radio to hear it again it isn’t just ours—it is a link to thousands of others who are sharing it with us. As a matter of a single song this might mean very little; as culture, as a way of life, you can’t beat it.”
    —Greil Marcus (b. 1945)

    “I do not like you, Sabidius; I cannot say why.
    This only can I say: I do not like you.”
    —Marcus Valerius Martial (c. 40–104)
