Famous quotes containing the word sounds:

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

    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)

    O to dream, O to awake and wander
    There, and with delight to take and render,
    Through the trance of silence,
    Quiet breath;
    Lo! for there, among the flowers and grasses,
    Only the mightier movement sounds and passes;
    Only winds and rivers,
    Life and death.
    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
