Lowest Note

Famous quotes containing the words lowest note, lowest and/or note:

    You would play upon me, you would seem to know my stops, you
    would pluck out the heart of my mystery, you would sound me
    from my lowest note to the top of my compass; and there is
    much music, excellent voice, in this little organ.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    When worse may yet befall, there’s room for prayer,
    But when our fortune’s at its lowest ebb,
    We trample fear beneath our feet, and live
    Without a fear of evil yet to come.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    To note an artist’s limitations is but to define his talent. A reporter can write equally well about everything that is presented to his view, but a creative writer can do his best only with what lies within the range and character of his deepest sympathies.
    Willa Cather (1876–1947)
