Dominant Noise Type

Famous quotes containing the words dominant, noise and/or type:

    Combativeness was, I suppose, the dominant trait in my grandmother’s nature. An aggressive churchgoer, she was quite without Christian feeling; the mercy of the Lord Jesus had never entered her heart. Her piety was an act of war against Protestant ascendancy. ...The teachings of the Church did not interest her, except as they were a rebuke to others ...
    Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)

    And its noise as the noise in a dream; and its depth as the roots
    of the sea:
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    Only that type of story deserves to be called moral that shows us that one has the power within oneself to act, out of the conviction that there is something better, even against one’s own inclination.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
