Show/music

Famous quotes containing the words show and/or music:

“It is, I fear, but a vain show of fulfilling the heathen precept, “Know thyself,” and too often leads to a self-estimate which will subsist in the absence of that fruit by which alone the quality of the tree is made evident.”

“O I shall hear skull skull,
Hear your lame music,
Believe music rejects undertaking,
Limps back.”
