Famous quotes containing the words universe and/or mass:
“It is a delicious thing to write, whether well or badly M to be no longer yourself but to move in an entire universe of your own creating.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
“At first, he savored only the material quality of the sounds secreted by the instruments. And it had already been a great pleasure when, beneath the tiny line of the violin, slender, resistant, dense and driving, he noticed the mass of the piano’s part seeking to arise in a liquid splashing, polymorphous, undivided, level and clashing like the purple commotion of wave charmed and flattened by the moonlight.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
