Famous quotes containing the words music, artistic and/or leaders:

    “Thy remembrance, and repentance, and deep musings are not free
    From the music of two voices and the light of one sweet smile.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “In European thought in general, as contrasted with American, vigor, life and originality have a kind of easy, professional utterance. American—on the other hand, is expressed in an eager amateurish way. A European gives a sense of scope, of survey, of consideration. An American is strained, sensational. One is artistic gold; the other is bullion.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “It is our experience that political leaders do not always mean the opposite of what they say.”
    —Abba Eban (b. 1915)
