Vocal Cord

Famous quotes containing the words vocal and/or cord:

The world in tune,

And vocal joys,
Whose echo is Heaven’s bliss.”

“The psychological umbilical cord is more difficult to cut than the real one. We experience our children as extensions of ourselves, and we feel as though their behavior is an expression of something within us...instead of an expression of something in them. We see in our children our own reflection, and when we don’t like what we see, we feel angry at the reflection.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
