True Vocal Folds

Famous quotes containing the words true, vocal and/or folds:

    There can be no doubt that distrust of words is less harmful than unwarranted trust in them. Besides, to distrust words, and indict them for the horrors that might slumber unobtrusively within them—isn’t this, after all, the true vocation of the intellectual?
    Václav Havel (b. 1936)

    Prayer is
    The world in tune,
    A spirit-voice,
    And vocal joys,
    Whose echo is Heaven’s bliss.
    Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    The rare original heartsblood goes,
    Spends on the earthen hide, in the folds and wizenings, flows

    In the gutters of the banked and staring eyes.
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
