Famous quotes containing the word sounds:

    I suppose any note, no matter how sour, sounds like a song if you hold onto it long enough.
    Dewitt Bodeen (1908–1988)

    When they sometimes
    Come down the stairs at night and stand perplexed
    Behind the door and headboard of the bed,
    Brushing their chalky skull with chalky fingers,
    With sounds like the dry rattling of a shutter,
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    A flutist who is moved to tears by his own performance will soon make the listeners laugh because of the sounds that he produces.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
