Famous quotes containing the words song and/or comedy:
“Marlowe went muttering to death
When he had done with song and lust.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“The difference between tragedy and comedy is the difference between experience and intuition. In the experience we strive against every condition of our animal life: against death, against the frustration of ambition, against the instability of human love. In the intuition we trust the arduous eccentricities we’re born to, and see the oddness of a creature who has never got acclimatized to being created.”
—Christopher Fry (b. 1907)
