Famous quotes containing the words active, musical and/or groups:

    Why indeed must “God” be a noun? Why not a verb—the most active and dynamic of all.
    Mary Daly (b. 1928)

    Sometimes a musical phrase would perfectly sum up
    The mood of a moment. One of those lovelorn sonatas
    For wind instruments was riding past on a solemn white horse.
    Everybody wondered who the new arrival was.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Writers and politicians are natural rivals. Both groups try to make the world in their own images; they fight for the same territory.
    Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
