More quotes by Ralph Vaughan Williams
Film contains potentialities for the combination of all the arts such as Wagner never dreamt of.
It never seems to occur to people that a man might just want to write a piece of music.
The art of music above all the other arts is the expression of the soul of a nation.
The duty of the words is to say just as much as the music has left unsaid and no more.
