Voice

Famous quotes containing the word voice:

    a voice still so hollow
    That it seems to call out to me from forty years ago,
    When you were all aglow,
    And not the thin ghost that I now frailly follow!
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    These marbles, the works of the dreamers and idealists of old, live on, leading and pointing to good. They are the works of visionaries and dreamers, but they are realizations of soul, the representations of the ideal. They are grand, beautiful, and true, and they speak with a voice that echoes through the ages. Governments have changed; empires have fallen; nations have passed away; but these mute marbles remain—the oracles of time, the perfection of art.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at
    rest.
    There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the
    oppressor.
    Bible: Hebrew Job (l. III, 17–18)
