Famous quotes containing the words important and/or musicians:

    “What seems to us serious, significant and important will, in future times, be forgotten or won’t seem important at all.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “We stand in the tumult of a festival.
    What festival? This loud, disordered mooch?
    These hospitaliers? These brute-like guests?
    These musicians dubbing at a tragedy,
    A-dub, a-dub, which is made up of this:
    That there are no lines to speak? There is no play.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
