Heard

Famous quotes containing the word heard:

“I cannot believe that our factory system is the best mode by which men may get clothing. The condition of the operatives is becoming every day more like that of the English; and it cannot be wondered at, since, as far as I have heard or observed, the principal object is, not that mankind may be well and honestly clad, but, unquestionably, that the corporations may be enriched.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“—I’ve heard of hearts unkind, kind deeds
With coldness still returning;
Alas! the gratitude of men
Hath oftener left me mourning.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

““We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September,”
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.”
—Oliver Herford (1863–1935)
