Sound

Famous quotes containing the word sound:

“For sounds in winter nights, and often in winter days, I heard the forlorn but melodious note of a hooting owl indefinitely far; such a sound as the frozen earth would yield if struck with a suitable plectrum, the very lingua vernacula of Walden Wood, and quite familiar to me at last, though I never saw the bird while it was making it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I don’t want to listen; your words sound like the truth but the truth is probably a sin.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)

“He seems determined to make a trumpet sound like a tin whistle.”
—Aneurin Bevan (1897–1960)
