Famous quotes containing the words parachute and/or music:
“I did not just fall in love. I made a parachute jump.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“The train was crammed, the heat stifling. We feel out of sorts, but do not quite know if we are hungry or drowsy. But when we have fed and slept, life will regain its looks, and the American instruments will make music in the merry cafe described by our friend Lange. And then, sometime later, we die.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
