Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or musicians:

    In modern life nothing produces such an effect as a good platitude. It makes the whole world kin.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    Music is of two kinds: one petty, poor, second-rate, never varying, its base the hundred or so phrasings which all musicians understand, a babbling which is more or less pleasant, the life that most composers live.
    Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
