Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or numbers:

    “If we cannot sing of faith and triumph, we will sing our despair. We will be that kind of bird. There are day owls, and there are night owls, and each is beautiful and even musical while about its business.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “He bundles every forkful in its place,
    And tags and numbers it for future reference,
    So he can find and easily dislodge it
    In the unloading. Silas does that well.
    He takes it out in bunches like birds’ nests.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
