Famous quotes containing the words large and/or concerts:

    “... one of the blind spots of most Negroes is their failure to realize that small overtures from whites have a large significance ... I now realize that this feeling inevitably takes possession of one in the bitter struggle for equality. Indeed, I share it. Yet I wonder how we can expect total acceptance to step full grown from the womb of prejudice, with no embryo or infancy or childhood stages.”
    —Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 1, ch. 10 (1962)

    “The concerts you enjoy together
    Neighbors you annoy together
    Children you destroy together
    That make marriage a joy”
    —Stephen Sondheim (b. 1930)
