Famous quotes containing the words pride and/or rock:
“What is more pretentiously
useless
or about which
we more pride ourselves?
It leads as often as not
to our undoing.”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
“The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races.... The economics of this musical esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
