Famous quotes containing the word songs:

    “People fall out of windows, trees tumble down,
    Summer is changed to winter, the young grow old
    The air is full of children, statues, roofs
    And snow. The theatre is spinning round,
    Colliding with deaf-mute churches and optical trains.
    The most massive sopranos are singing songs of scales.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Let me make the superstitions of a nation and I care not who makes its laws or its songs either.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
