International Violin Competition

Famous quotes containing the words violin and/or competition:

    “Carry hate
    In front of you and harmony behind.
    Be deaf to music and to beauty blind.
    Win war. Rise bloody, maybe not too late
    For having first to civilize a space
    Wherein to play your violin with grace.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “Such joint ownership creates a place where mothers can “father” and fathers can “mother.” It does not encourage mothers and fathers to compete with one another for “first- place parent.” Such competition is not especially good for marriage and furthermore drives kids nuts.”
    —Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)
