Song Society

Famous quotes containing the words song and/or society:

“Christianity only hopes. It has hung its harp on the willows, and cannot sing a song in a strange land. It has dreamed a sad dream, and does not yet welcome the morning with joy. The mother tells her falsehoods to her child, but, thank heaven, the child does not grow up in its parent’s shadow. Our mother’s faith has not grown with her experience. Her experience has been too much for her. The lesson of life was too hard for her to learn.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Today, music heralds ... the establishment of a society of repetition in which nothing will happen anymore.”
—Jacques Attali (b. 1943)
