Je m'en vais chercher un grand peut-?tre.

 
Francois Rabelais
 

The myriad-minded man, our, and all men's, Shakespeare, has in this piece presented us with a legitimate farce in exactest consonance with the philosophical principles and character of farce, as distinguished from comedy and from entertainments.

The story need not be probable, it is enough that it is possible.

 
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Ce qu’on ne peut dire et ce qu’on ne peut taire, la musique l’exprime.
