Famous quotes containing the word sounds:

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

    The lovely shapes and sounds intelligible
    Of that eternal language, which thy God
    Utters, who from eternity doth teach
    Himself in all, and all things in himself.
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    From troublous sights and sounds set free;
    In such a twilight hour of breath,
    Shall one retrace his life or see,
    Through shadows, the true face of death?
    Ernest Christopher Dowson (1867–1900)
