Circuit Switch Voice

Famous quotes containing the words circuit, switch and/or voice:

    Within the circuit of this plodding life
    There enter moments of an azure hue,
    Untarnished fair as is the violet
    Or anemone, when the spring strews them
    By some meandering rivulet, which make
    The best philosophy untrue that aims
    But to console man for his grievances.
    I have remembered when the winter came,
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Uncritical semantics is the myth of a museum in which the exhibits are meanings and the words are labels. To switch languages is to change the labels.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    And then the voice again: “You seem afraid.
    I saw by the way you whipped up the horse.
    I’ll just come forward in the lantern-light
    And let you see.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
