I would rather be remembered by a song than by a victory.

Life is so short. I would rather sing one song than interpret the thousand.

The Okavango Delta is an astonishing sight: the great Okavango River, rather than flow towards the sea, flows inland, into the sands of the Kalahari.

I would rather write or record something great and have it overlooked than do mediocre work and have it be popular.

They sing the song to celebrate their victory. Singing it would amount to selling my soul.

We conquered France, but felt our captive's charms, Her arts victorious triumph'd o'er our arms.
