Famous quotes containing the words russian, folk and/or songs:
“Other centuries had their driving forces. What will ours have been when men look far back to it one day? Maybe it won’t be the American Century, after all. Or the Russian Century or the Atomic Century. Wouldn’t it be wonderful, Phil, if it turned out to be everybody’s century, when people all over the world—free people—found a way to live together? I’d like to be around to see some of that, even the beginning.”
—Moss Hart (1904–1961)
“The ties between gentle folk are as pure as water; the links between scoundrels are as thick as honey.”

That caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul”
