Sounds

Famous quotes containing the word sounds:

“The comedy of hollow sounds derives
From truth and not from satire on our lives.”

“To me no profitable speech sounds ill.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

“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)
