Leading Tone

Famous quotes containing the words leading and/or tone:

“Our leading men are not of much account and never have been, but the average of the people is immense, beyond all history. Sometimes I think in all departments, literature and art included, that will be the way our superiority will exhibit itself. We will not have great individuals or great leaders, but a great average bulk, unprecedentedly great.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

“We often contradict an opinion when it is actually only the tone with which it was put forward that is uncongenial to us.”
