Famous quotes containing the words heavy, metal and/or music:

    “Help to bewail the woeful case
    And eke the heavy plight
    Of me, that wonted to rejoice
    The fortunes of my pleasant choice.
    Good ladies, help to fill my mourning voice.”
    —Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)

    “There is a lot of talk now about metal detectors and gun control. Both are good things. But they are no more a solution than forks and spoons are a solution to world hunger.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1953)

    “It is hard to describe the thrill of creative joy which the artist feels when the conviction seizes her that at last she has caught the very soul of the character she wishes to portray, in the music and action which reveal it.”
    —Maria Jeritza (1887–1982)
