Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or music:

    “A more problematic example is the parallel between the increasingly abstract and insubstantial picture of the physical universe which modern physics has given us and the popularity of abstract and non-representational forms of art and poetry. In each case the representation of reality is increasingly removed from the picture which is immediately presented to us by our senses.”
    —Harvey Brooks (b. 1915)

    “La la la, Oh music swims back to me
    and I can feel the tune they played
    the night they left me
    in this private institution on a hill.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
