Heard

Famous quotes containing the word heard:

“I heard what was said of the universe,
Heard it and heard it of several thousand years;
It is middling well as far as it goes—but is that all?”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1882)

“And all who told it added something new,
And all who heard it, made enlargements too.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

“When we start deceiving ourselves into thinking not that we want something or need something, not that it is a pragmatic necessity for us to have it, but that it is a moral imperative that we have it, then is when we join the fashionable madmen, and then is when the thin whine of hysteria is heard in the land, and then is when we are in bad trouble.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1934)
