Wicked Symphony

Famous quotes containing the words wicked and/or symphony:

“Society has quite forsaken all her wicked courses,
Which empties our police courts, and abolishes divorces.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

“The truth is, as every one knows, that the great artists of the world are never Puritans, and seldom even ordinarily respectable. No virtuous man—that is, virtuous in the Y.M.C.A. sense—has ever painted a picture worth looking at, or written a symphony worth hearing, or a book worth reading, and it is highly improbable that the thing has ever been done by a virtuous woman.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
