Famous quotes containing the words harp and/or music:
“God, who gave to him the lyre,
Of all mortals the desire,
For all breathing mens behoof,
Straitly charged him, Sit aloof;
Annexed a warning, poets say,
To the bright premium,
Ever, when twain together play,
Shall the harp be dumb.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.”
—Bill Cosby (b. 1937)
