Saint Louis Symphony

Famous quotes containing the words saint, louis and/or symphony:

    O my God, what must a soul be like when it is in this state! It longs to be all one tongue with which to praise the Lord. It utters a thousand pious follies, in a continuous endeavor to please Him who thus possesses it.
    Teresa Of Avila, Saint (1515–1582)

    Wait a minute, wait a minute, you ain’t heard nothing yet. Wait a minute I tell you. You ain’t heard nothing yet. Do you want to hear “Toot, Toot, Tootsie?”
    Alfread A. Cohen, U.S., and Louis Silver. Jakie Rabinowitz (Al Jolson)

    The truth is, as every one knows, that the great artists of the world are never Puritans, and seldom even ordinarily respectable. No virtuous man—that is, virtuous in the Y.M.C.A. sense—has ever painted a picture worth looking at, or written a symphony worth hearing, or a book worth reading, and it is highly improbable that the thing has ever been done by a virtuous woman.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
