Famous quotes containing the words lead and/or pipe:
“Nature is unfair? So much the better, inequality is the only bearable thing, the monotony of equality can only lead us to boredom.”
—Francis Picabia (1878–1953)
“If you love music, hear it; go to operas, concerts and pay fiddlers to play to you; but I insist on your neither piping nor fiddling yourself. It puts a gentleman in a very frivolous, contemptible light.... Few things would mortify me more than to see you bearing a part in a concert, with a fiddle under your chin, or a pipe in your mouth.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
