Famous quotes containing the words band and/or members:
“There was a young lady called Gloria
Who was had by Sir Gerald Du Maurier

And Sir Gerald again
And the band of the Waldorf-Astoria.”

“Man is more disposed to domination than freedom; and a structure of dominion not only gladdens the eye of the master who rears and protects it, but even its servants are uplifted by the thought that they are members of a whole, which rises high above the life and strength of single generations.”
—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
