Midnight Voices

Famous quotes containing the words midnight and/or voices:

    Where have you gone? The tide is over you,
    The turn of midnight water’s over you,
    As Time is over you, and mystery,
    And memory, the flood that does not flow.
    Kenneth Slessor (1901–1971)

    The sound of tireless voices is the price we pay for the right to hear the music of our own opinions. But there is also, it seems to me, a moment at which democracy must prove its capacity to act. Every man has a right to be heard; but no man has the right to strangle democracy with a single set of vocal chords.
    Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
