Famous quotes containing the word musical:

    “I was with Hercules and Cadmus once,
    When in a wood of Crete they bayed the bear
    With hounds of Sparta: never did I hear
    Such gallant chiding; for besides the groves,
    The skies, the fountains, every region near
    Seemed all one mutual cry. I never heard
    So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “That vast moth-eaten musical brocade
    Created to pretend we never die ...”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Hell is full of musical amateurs: music is the brandy of the damned.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
