Famous quotes containing the words vibration and/or modes:
“All sound heard at the greatest possible distance produces one and the same effect, a vibration of the universal lyre, just as the intervening atmosphere makes a distant ridge of earth interesting to our eyes by the azure tint it imparts to it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Heaven is large, and affords space for all modes of love and fortitude. Why should we be busybodies and superserviceable?”
