Famous quotes containing the words music and/or industry:

    “Your remark that clams will lie quiet if music be played to them, was superfluous—entirely superfluous.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “I have never yet spoken from a public platform about women in industry that someone has not said, “But things are far better than they used to be.” I confess to impatience with persons who are satisfied with a dangerously slow tempo of progress for half of society in an age which requires a much faster tempo than in the days that “used to be.” Let us use what might be instead of what has been as our yardstick!”
    —Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
