Famous quotes containing the word sound:

    “But sound of water over a rock
    Where the hermit-thrush sings in the pine trees
    Drip drop drip drop drop drop drop
    But there is no water”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “He who wants to persuade should put his trust not in the right argument, but in the right word. The power of sound has always been greater than the power of sense.”
    —Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
