Bowed Instrument

Famous quotes containing the words bowed and/or instrument:

    Then bowed down the highest tree

    I have cherries at command.”

    People of talent resemble a musical instrument more closely than they do a musician. Without outside help, they produce not a single sound, but given even the slightest touch, and a magnificent tune emanates from them.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
