Famous quotes containing the word sounds:

    “Why is it that reality, when set down untransposed in a book, sounds false?”
    —Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    “I used to be angry all the time and I’d sit there weaving my anger. Now I’m not angry. I sit there hearing the sounds outside, the sounds in the room, the sounds of the treadles and heddles—a music of my own making.”
    —Bhakti Ziek (b. c. 1946)

    “Good poetry could not have been otherwise written than it is. The first time you hear it, it sounds rather as if copied out of some invisible tablet in the Eternal mind than as if arbitrarily composed by the poet.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
