Famous quotes containing the words rock and, rock, roll, hall and/or fame:
“The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races.... The economics of this musical esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
“In Little Rock the people bear
Babes, and comb and part their hair
And watch the want ads, put repair
To roof and latch.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“Roll on, thou ball, roll on!
Through pathless realms of Space”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
“He packs wool sheared in April, honey
in combs, linen, leather
tanned from deerhide,
and vinegar in a barrel
hooped by hand at the forge’s fire.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
“The best people renounce all for one goal, the eternal fame of mortals; but most people stuff themselves like cattle.”
—Heraclitus (c. 535–475 B.C.)
