Hebrew Alphabet - Sounds Represented With Diacritic Geresh

Famous quotes containing the words sounds and/or represented:

“A flutist who is moved to tears by his own performance will soon make the listeners laugh because of the sounds that he produces.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

“War is bestowed like electroshock on the depressive nation; thousands of volts jolting the system, an artificial galvanizing, one effect of which is loss of memory. War comes at the end of the twentieth century as absolute failure of imagination, scientific and political. That a war can be represented as helping a people to “feel good” about themselves, their country, is a measure of that failure.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
