Famous quotes containing the words sound and/or shifts:
“Every now and then, when you’re on stage, you hear the best sound a player can hear. It’s a sound you can’t get in movies or in television. It is the sound of a wonderful, deep silence that means you’ve hit them where they live.”
—Shelley Winters (b. 1922)
“God is a foreman with certain definite views
Who orders life in shifts of work and leisure.”
—Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)
