Famous quotes containing the words music and/or industry:

    Poetry
    Exceeding music must take the place
    Of empty heaven and its hymns....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    The Founding Fathers in their wisdom decided that children were an unnatural strain on parents. So they provided jails called schools, equipped with tortures called an education. School is where you go between when your parents can’t take you and industry can’t take you.
    John Updike (b. 1932)
