Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or theater:

    “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)

    “The primary function of a theater is not to please itself, or even to please its audience. It is to serve talent.”
    —Robert Brustein (b. 1927)
