Famous quotes containing the words book, voice and/or actors:
“Common sense should tell us that reading is the ultimate weapon—destroying ignorance, poverty and despair before they can destroy us. A nation that doesn’t read much doesn’t know much. And a nation that doesn’t know much is more likely to make poor choices in the home, the marketplace, the jury box and the voting booth...The challenge, therefore, is to convince future generations of children that carrying a book is more rewarding than carrying guns.”
—Jim Trelease (20th century)
“Sometimes in conversation the sound of our own voice distracts us and misleads us into making assertions that in no way express our true opinions.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The great actors are the luminous ones. They are the great conductors of the stage.”
—Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)
