Famous quotes containing the words sacred and/or songs:
“Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“And songs climb out of the flames of the near campfires,
Pale, pastel things exquisite in their frailness
With a note or two to indicate it isn’t lost,
On them at least. The songs decorate our notion of the world
And mark its limits, like a frieze of soap-bubbles.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
