Famous quotes containing the words byrne leicester warren, john, byrne and/or warren:

    Sleep, and forget all things but one,

    How lonely all the years will run
    Until I rest by thee.

    Quintilian [educational writer in Rome about A.D. 100] hoped that teachers would be sensitive to individual differences of temperament and ability. . . . Beating, he thought, was usually unnecessary. A teacher who had made the effort to understand his pupil’s individual needs and character could probably dispense with it: “I will content myself with saying that children are helpless and easily victimized, and that therefore no one should be given unlimited power over them.”
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)

    As I define it, rock & roll is dead. The attitude isn’t dead, but the music is no longer vital. It doesn’t have the same meaning. The attitude, though, is still very much alive—and it still informs other kinds of music.
    —David Byrne (b. 1952)

    I didn’t know God made honky-tonk angels.
    —William Warren (1918–1992)
