Famous quotes containing the words noise and/or punk:
“While we were thus engaged in the twilight, we heard faintly, from far down the stream, what sounded like two strokes of a woodchoppers axe, echoing dully through the grim solitude.... When we told Joe of this, he exclaimed, By George, Ill bet that was a moose! They make a noise like that. These sounds affected us strangely, and by their very resemblance to a familiar one, where they probably had so different an origin, enhanced the impression of solitude and wildness.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“When theres no future
How can there be sin
Were the flowers in the dustbin
Were the poison in your human machine
Were the future
Your future
God Save the Queen”
—The Sex Pistols, British punk band (1976-1979)
