Famous quotes containing the word songs:

    “When I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me;
    Plant thou no roses at my head, Nor shady cypress tree:
    Be the green grass above me With showers and dewdrops wet;
    And if thou wilt, remember, And if thou wilt, forget.”
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    “Let me make the superstitions of a nation and I care not who makes its laws or its songs either.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
