Famous quotes containing the words noisy and/or site:
“The bells they sound on Bredon,
And still the steeples hum.

Oh, noisy bells, be dumb;
I hear you, I will come.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
“I am not aware that any man has ever built on the spot which I occupy. Deliver me from a city built on the site of a more ancient city, whose materials are ruins, whose gardens cemeteries. The soil is blanched and accursed there, and before that becomes necessary the earth itself will be destroyed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
