Famous quotes containing the words sound and/or style:
“A village seems thus, where its able-bodied men are all plowing the ocean together, as a common field.

Therefore, these parents live in fear for their children’s future—fear that they’ll lose control, that the children will wind up on the streets or, worse yet, in jail.”
—Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
