Famous quotes containing the words music and/or career:
“Poetry
Exceeding music must take the place
Of empty heaven and its hymns....”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“He was at a starting point which makes many a mans career a fine subject for betting, if there were any gentlemen given to that amusement who could appreciate the complicated probabilities of an arduous purpose, with all the possible thwartings and furtherings of circumstance, all the niceties of inward balance, by which a man swings and makes his point or else is carried headlong.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
