Heard

Famous quotes containing the word heard:

“As I walked on the glacis I heard the sound of a bagpipe from the soldiers’ dwellings in the rock, and was further soothed and affected by the sight of a soldier’s cat walking up a cleated plank in a high loophole designed for mus-catry, as serene as Wisdom herself, and with a gracefully waving motion of her tail, as if her ways were ways of pleasantness and all her paths were peace.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I’ve never heard of Timothy Leary before, but I want to get into advertising, so I liked when he talked about how whoever controls your eyeballs controls your mind.”
—Amy Stewart (b. 1975)

“He spoke to the rabble;
dead,
dead,
dead were our ears
that heard not, yet heard.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
