Professional Rosewood Marimba

Famous quotes containing the words professional and/or marimba:

“Men seem more bound to the wheel of success than women do. That women are trained to get satisfaction from affiliation rather than achievement has tended to keep them from great achievement. But it has also freed them from unreasonable expectations about the satisfactions that professional achievement brings.”
—Phyllis Rose (b. 1942)

“One can smell it turning to gas; if one were Baudelaire
one could probably hear it turning to marimba music.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
