Vocal Decline

Famous quotes containing the words vocal and/or decline:

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

    “I rather think the cinema will die. Look at the energy being exerted to revive it—yesterday it was color, today three dimensions. I don’t give it forty years more. Witness the decline of conversation. Only the Irish have remained incomparable conversationalists, maybe because technical progress has passed them by.”
    —Orson Welles (1915–1984)
