Famous quotes containing the word notes:

    “In trying to understand the appeal of best-sellers, it is well to remember that whistles can be made sounding certain notes which are clearly audible to dogs and other of the lower animals, though man is incapable of hearing them.”
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    “If the heart of a man is deprest with cares,
    The mist is dispell’d when a woman appears;
    Like the notes of a fiddle, she sweetly, sweetly
    Raises the spirits, and charms our ears.”
    —John Gay (1685–1732)

    “What neat repast shall feast us, light and choice,
    Of Attick tast, with Wine, whence we may rise
    To hear the Lute well toucht, or artfull voice
    Warble immortal Notes and Tuskan Ayre?
    He who of those delights can judge, and spare
    To interpose them oft, is not unwise.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
