Famous quotes containing the words coins and/or discovered:

“A war undertaken without sufficient monies has but a wisp of force. Coins are the very sinews of battles.”

“Perhaps all music, even the newest, is not so much something discovered as something that re-emerges from where it lay buried in the memory, inaudible as a melody cut in a disc of flesh. A composer lets me hear a song that has always been shut up silent within me.”
