Famous quotes containing the word sounds:
“And forever goodbye! Forever! Oh, Sir, can you imagine how dreadful this cruel word sounds when one loves?”
—Jean Racine (1639–1699)
““Try speaking. Say ‘Hello!’”
“Hello. Hello.”
“What do you hear?”
“I hear an empty room—
You know it sounds that way. And yes, I hear
I think I hear a clock and windows rattling....””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Denotation by means of sounds and markings is a remarkable abstraction. Three letters designate God for me; several lines a million things. How easy becomes the manipulation of the universe here, how evident the concentration of the intellectual world! Language is the dynamics of the spiritual realm. One word of command moves armies; the word liberty entire nations.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
