Famous quotes containing the word sounds:

    I spoke at a woman’s club in Philadelphia yesterday and a young lady said to me afterwards, “Well, that sounds very nice, but don’t you think it is better to be the power behind the throne?” I answered that I had not had much experience with thrones, but a woman who has been on a throne, and who is now behind it, seems to prefer to be on the throne.
    Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)

    The comedy of hollow sounds derives
    From truth and not from satire on our lives.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Bill: I have champagne, caviar, marinated truffles, brilliant foie gras and half-a-dozen assorted Hungarian gypsies.
    Lili: Sounds delicious.
    Bill: I thought we’d go on a picnic.
    Lili: At three in the morning?
    Bill: It’s the best time—no ants.
    Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
