Deaf People

Famous quotes containing the words deaf and/or people:

    I will be deaf to pleading and excuses.
    Nor tears nor prayers shall purchase out abuses.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    It is not a piece of fine feminine Spitalfields silk—but is of the horrible texture of a fabric that should be woven of ships’ cables & hausers. A Polar wind blows through it, & birds of prey hover over it. Warn all gentle fastidious people from so much as peeping into the book—on risk of a lumbago & sciatics.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
