Famous quotes containing the words bands and/or hiatus:
“Nearly all the bands are mustered out of service; ours therefore is a novelty. We marched a few miles yesterday on a road where troops have not before marched. It was funny to see the children. I saw our boys running after the music in many a group of clean, bright-looking, excited little fellows.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“... Ma hiatus between two nothings— ...”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
