Story/music

Famous quotes containing the words story and/or music:

“A bad short story or novel or poem leaves one comparatively calm because it does not exist, unless it gets a fake prestige through being mistaken for good work. It is essentially negative, it is something that has not come through. But over bad criticism one has a sense of real calamity.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)

“If you really believe music is dangerous, you should let it go in one ear and out the other.”
—José Bergamín (1895–1983)
