Famous quotes containing the words air and/or berlin:

    Mothers of America
    let your kids go to the movies!
    get them out of the house so they won’t know what you’re up to
    it’s true that fresh air is good for the body
    but what about the soul
    that grows in darkness, embossed by silvery images
    Frank O’Hara (1926–1966)

    Won’t you play a simple melody
    Like my mother sang to me—
    One with good old fashioned harmony.
    Play a simple melody.
    —Irving Berlin (1888–1989)
