Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or music:

    “The medieval university looked backwards; it professed to be a storehouse of old knowledge.... The modern university looks forward, and is a factory of new knowledge.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)

    “The train was crammed, the heat stifling. We feel out of sorts, but do not quite know if we are hungry or drowsy. But when we have fed and slept, life will regain its looks, and the American instruments will make music in the merry cafe described by our friend Lange. And then, sometime later, we die.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
