Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or theater:

    “Then, bringing me the joy we feel when wee see a work by our favorite painter which differs from any other that we know, or if we are led before a painting of which we have until then only seen a pencil sketch, if a musical piece heard only on the piano appears before us clothed in the colors of the orchestra, my grandfather called me the [hawthorn] hedge at Tansonville, saying, “You who are so fond of hawthorns, look at this pink thorn, isn’t it lovely?””
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    “When the theater gates open, a mob pours inside, and it is the poet’s task to turn it into an audience.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
