Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or music:

    “Much of modern art is devoted to lowering the threshold of what is terrible. By getting us used to what, formerly, we could not bear to see or hear, because it was too shocking, painful, or embarrassing, art changes morals.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “I defied the machinery to make me its slave. Its incessant discords could not drown the music of my thoughts if I would let them fly high enough.”
    —Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)
