Famous quotes containing the words sound and/or transit:
“He is said to have been the last Red Man
In Acton. And the Miller is said to have laughed
If you like to call such a sound a laugh.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“My esoteric doctrine, is that if you entertain any doubt, it is safest to take the unpopular side in the first instance. Transit from the unpopular, is easy ... but from the popular to the unpopular is so steep and rugged that it is impossible to maintain it.”
—William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)
