Famous quotes containing the words hearing and/or people:
“To-night she will spread her brown hair on his pillow,
But I shall be hearing the harsh cries of wild fowl.”
—Patrick MacDonogh (1902–1961)
“America is the world’s living myth. There’s no sense of wrong when you kill an American or blame America for some local disaster. This is our function, to be character types, to embody recurring themes that people can use to comfort themselves, justify themselves and so on. We’re here to accommodate. Whatever people need, we provide. A myth is a useful thing.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
