Heard

Famous quotes containing the word heard:

“Flowers and fruits are always fit presents; flowers, because they are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all of the utilities of the world. These gay natures contrast with the somewhat stern countenance of ordinary nature: they are like music heard out of a work-house.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“For Nym, he hath heard that men of few words are the best men,
and therefore he scorns to say his prayers, lest ‘a should be
thought a coward.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“He spoke to the rabble;
dead,
dead,
dead were our ears
that heard not, yet heard.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
