Famous quotes containing the words southern and/or harmony:

    Come on, untie me or I’m gonna call your parents.
    —Terry Southern (b. 1924)

    There’s not the smallest orb which thou behold’st
    But in his motion like an angel sings,
    Still quiring to the young-eyed cherubins;
    Such harmony is in immortal souls,
    But whilst this muddy vesture of decay
    Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
