Famous quotes containing the words published, popular and/or music:

    “Literature that is not the breath of contemporary society, that dares not transmit the pains and fears of that society, that does not warn in time against threatening moral and social dangers—such literature does not deserve the name of literature; it is only a façade. Such literature loses the confidence of its own people, and its published works are used as wastepaper instead of being read.”
    —Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)

    “And all the popular statesmen say
    That purity built up the State
    And after kept it from decay;
    Admonish us to cling to that
    And let all base ambition be,
    For intellect would make us proud....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “People today are still living off the table scraps of the sixties. They are still being passed around—the music and the ideas.”
    —Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
