Famous quotes containing the word songs:

    “And songs climb out of the flames of the near campfires,
    Pale, pastel things exquisite in their frailness
    With a note or two to indicate it isn’t lost,
    On them at least. The songs decorate our notion of the world
    And mark its limits, like a frieze of soap-bubbles.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “Music is so much a part of their daily lives that if an Indian visits another reservation one of the first questions asked on his return is: “What new songs did you learn?””
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “Blues are the songs of despair, but gospel songs are the songs of hope.”
    —Mahalia Jackson (1911–1972)
