Famous quotes containing the words principal and/or note:
“The principal rule of art is to please and to move. All the other rules were created to achieve this first one.”
—Jean Racine (1639–1699)
“And songs climb out of the flames of the near campfires,
Pale, pastel things exquisite in their frailness
With a note or two to indicate it isn’t lost,
On them at least. The songs decorate our notion of the world
And mark its limits, like a frieze of soap-bubbles.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
