Smoothly Knotted

Famous quotes containing the words smoothly and/or knotted:

“It is the stretched soul that makes music, and souls are stretched by the pull of opposites—opposite bents, tastes, yearnings, loyalties. Where there is no polarity—where energies flow smoothly in one direction—there will be much doing but no music.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

“Music has charms to soothe a savage breast,
To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.”
