Famous quotes containing the words sounds, true and/or stories:
“half-way up the hill, I see the Past
Lying beneath me with its sounds and sights,—
A city in the twilight dim and vast,
With smoking roofs, soft bells, and gleaming lights,—
And hear above me on the autumnal blast
The cataract of Death far thundering from the heights.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

When painted panel, statuary,
Glass-mosaic, window-glass,
Amended what was told awry
By some peasant gospeller....”

“Young man, there is America, which at this day serves for little more than to amuse you with stories of savage men and uncouth manners.”
