Famous quotes containing the words music and/or republic:
“Your remark that clams will lie quiet if music be played to them, was superfluousentirely superfluous.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910)
“Royalty is a government in which the attention of the nation is concentrated on one person doing interesting actions. A Republic is a government in which that attention is divided between many, who are all doing uninteresting actions. Accordingly, so long as the human heart is strong and the human reason weak, Royalty will be strong because it appeals to diffused feeling, and Republics weak because they appeal to the understanding.”
—Walter Bagehot (18261877)
