Famous quotes containing the words sounds and/or represented:
“I lately met with an old volume from a London bookshop, containing the Greek Minor Poets, and it was a pleasure to read once more only the words Orpheus, Linus, Musæus,—those faint poetic sounds and echoes of a name, dying away on the ears of us modern men; and those hardly more substantial sounds, Mimnermus, Ibycus, Alcæus, Stesichorus, Menander. They lived not in vain. We can converse with these bodiless fames without reserve or personality.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Judge Bedford: I understand you refuse to be represented by counsel.
Walter: That’s correct, your honor.
Judge Bedford: Are you suicidal, Mr. Davis, or just plain stupid?”
—Dale Launer (b. 1953)
