Famous quotes containing the words royal, air and/or force:

    An Englishman, methinks,—not to speak of other European nations,—habitually regards himself merely as a constituent part of the English nation; he is a member of the royal regiment of Englishmen, and is proud of his company, as he has reason to be proud of it. But an American—one who has made tolerable use of his opportunities—cares, comparatively, little about such things, and is advantageously nearer to the primitive and the ultimate condition of man in these respects.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Music, in performance, is a type of sculpture. The air in the performance is sculpted into something.
    Frank Zappa (1940–1994)

    Applause that comes thundering with such force you might think the audience merely suffers the music as an excuse for its ovations.
    Greil Marcus (b. 1945)
