Famous quotes containing the words voices and/or creative:

    Punk to me was a form of free speech. It was a moment when suddenly all kinds of strange voices that no reasonable person could ever have expected to hear in public were being heard all over the place.
    Greil Marcus (b. 1945)

    Nobody knows what the cause is,
    Though some pretend they do;
    It’s like some hidden assassin
    Waiting to strike at you.
    Childless women get it,
    And men when they retire;
    It’s as if there had to be some outlet
    For their foiled creative fire.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
