Famous quotes containing the words sound and/or poetry:
“Let children know you are human. It’s important for children to see that parents are human and make mistakes. When you’re sorry about something you’ve said or done, apologize! But don’t sound guilt ridden. It is best when parents apologize in a manner that is straightforward and sincere.”
—Saf Lerman (20th century)
“Events, actions arise, that must be sung, that will sing themselves. Who can doubt, that poetry will revive and lead in a new age, as the star in the constellation Harp, which now flames in our zenith, astronomers announce, shall one day be the pole- star for a thousand years?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
