Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “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)

    “From where Pan’s cavern is
    Intolerable music falls.
    Foul goat-head, brutal arm appear,
    Belly, shoulder, bum,
    Flash fishlike; nymphs and satyrs
    Copulate in the foam.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The music is in minors.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
