Ringing

Famous quotes containing the word ringing:

“As soon as I suspect a fine effect is being achieved by accident I lose interest. I am not interested ... in unskilled labor.... The scientific actor is an even worker. Any one may achieve on some rare occasion an outburst of genuine feeling, a gesture of imperishable beauty, a ringing accent of truth; but your scientific actor knows how he did it. He can repeat it again and again and again. He can be depended on.”
—Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)

“If I play hard to get, soon the phone stops ringing altogether.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“Not in vain the distance beacons. Forward let us range,
Let the great world spin for ever down the ringing grooves of
change.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
