Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or theater:

    “Creative force, like a musical composer, goes on unweariedly repeating a simple air or theme, now high, now low, in solo, in chorus, ten thousand times reverberated, till it fills earth and heaven with the chant.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “This ... is an age of specialization, and in such an age the repertory theater is an anachronism, a ludicrous anachronism.”
    —Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)
