Famous quotes containing the words royal, college and/or music:

    a highly respectable gondolier,
    Who promised the Royal babe to rear
    And teach him the trade of a timoneer
    With his own beloved brattling.
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    We talked about and that has always been a puzzle to me
    why American men think that success is everything
    when they know that eighty percent of them are not
    going to succeed more than to just keep going and why
    if they are not why do they not keep on being
    interested in the things that interested them when
    they were college men and why American men different
    from English men do not get more interesting as they
    get older.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    To know whether you are enjoying a piece of music or not you must see whether you find yourself looking at the advertisements of Pears’ soap at the end of the libretto.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
