Famous quotes containing the words sound and/or transit:
“Sophocles long ago
Heard it on the Aegaean, and it brought
Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow
Of human misery; we
Find also in the sound a thought,
Hearing it by this distant northern sea.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“There’s that popular misconception of man as something between a brute and an angel. Actually man is in transit between brute and God.”
