Famous quotes containing the word sounds:
“Newsmen believe that news is a tacitly acknowledged fourth branch of the federal system. This is why most news about government sounds as if it were federally mandated—serious, bulky and blandly worthwhile, like a high-fiber diet set in type.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
““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)
“Good poetry could not have been otherwise written than it is. The first time you hear it, it sounds rather as if copied out of some invisible tablet in the Eternal mind than as if arbitrarily composed by the poet.”
