Famous quotes containing the words throat and/or singing:

    “My soul’s a little grief, grappling your chest,
    To climb your throat on sobs; easily chased
    On other sighs and wiped by fresher winds.”
    —Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)

    “Our Germany’s dead. However hard this may be for some of us older people, it’s a blessing for our children. Our children grew up against new backgrounds, new horizons. And they are free. Free to grow up as children. Free to run and to laugh without being forced into uniforms. Without being forced to march up and down streets, singing battle songs.”
    —Emeric Pressburger (1902–1988)
