Famous quotes containing the words melody and/or maker:
“Perhaps all music, even the newest, is not so much something discovered as something that re-emerges from where it lay buried in the memory, inaudible as a melody cut in a disc of flesh. A composer lets me hear a song that has always been shut up silent within me.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
“A cry of bitter dead men who will never
Attend a gentle maker of musical joy.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
