Famous quotes containing the words title, theme and/or music:
“Bolkenstein, a Minister, was speaking on the Dutch programme from London, and he said that they ought to make a collection of diaries and letters after the war. Of course, they all made a rush at my diary immediately. Just imagine how interesting it would be if I were to publish a romance of the Secret Annexe. The title alone would be enough to make people think it was a detective story.”
—Anne Frank (19291945)
“She is a theme of honor and renown,
A spur to valiant and magnanimous deeds,
Whose present courage may beat down our foes,
And fame in time to come canonize us.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“What is our life? a play of passion;
Our mirth the music of division;
Our mothers wombs the tiring-houses be
Where we are dressed for this short comedy.”
—Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?1618)
