Famous quotes containing the words music and/or influence:

    The music is in minors.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    We cannot spare our children the influence of harmful values by turning off the television any more than we can keep them home forever or revamp the world before they get there. Merely keeping them in the dark is no protection and, in fact, can make them vulnerable and immature.
    Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
