Falling Tone

Famous quotes containing the words falling and/or tone:

    “It comes in, falling to its knees
    but we can’t translate the language.”

    “It hurts me to hear the tone in which the poor are condemned as “shiftless,” or “having a pauper spirit,” just as it would if a crowd mocked at a child for its weakness, or laughed at a lame man because he could not run, or a blind man because he stumbled.”
