Famous quotes containing the words vowel, fact and/or sheet:

    “Brute animals have the vowel sounds; man only can utter consonants.”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    “You have to make more noise than anybody else, you have to make yourself more obtrusive than anybody else, you have to fill all the papers more than anybody else, in fact you have to be there all the time and see that they do not snow you under, if you are really going to get your reform realized.”
    —Emmeline Pankhurst (1858–1928)

    “No Time, spoke the clocks, no God, rang the bells,
    I drew the white sheet over the islands
    And the coins on my eyelids sang like shells.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
