Hearing Nerve

Famous quotes containing the words hearing and/or nerve:

“People in general are equally horrified at hearing the Christian religion doubted, and at seeing it practised.”

“our nerve filaments twitch with its presence
day and night,
nothing we say has not the husky phlegm of it in the saying,
nothing we do has the quickness, the sureness,
the deep intelligence living at peace would have.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
