Musical Variety Show

Famous quotes containing the words musical, variety and/or show:

    There was something refreshingly and wildly musical to my ears in the very name of the white man’s canoe, reminding me of Charlevoix and Canadian Voyageurs. The batteau is a sort of mongrel between the canoe and the boat, a fur-trader’s boat.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A third variety of drama ... begins as tragedy with scraps of fun in it ... and ends in comedy without mirth in it, the place of mirth being taken by a more or less bitter and critical irony.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    Men’s actions are too strong for them. Show me a man who has acted, and who has not been the victim and slave of his action.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
