Famous quotes containing the word sounds:

    Dylan used to sound like a lung cancer victim singing Woody Guthrie. Now he sounds like a Rolling Stone singing Immanuel Kant.

    I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
    While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray,
    I hear it in the deep heart’s core.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Why is it that reality, when set down untransposed in a book, sounds false?
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)
