Famous quotes containing the words museum and/or opera:
“[A] Dada exhibition. Another one! What’s the matter with everyone wanting to make a museum piece out of Dada? Dada was a bomb ... can you imagine anyone, around half a century after a bomb explodes, wanting to collect the pieces, sticking it together and displaying it?”
—Max Ernst (1891–1976)
“The opera house sparkled with tiers
And tiers of eyes, like mine enlarged by belladonna,”
