Hearing People

Famous quotes containing the words hearing and/or people:

    There is all the poetry in the world in a name. It is a poem which the mass of men hear and read. What is poetry in the common sense, but a hearing of such jingling names? I want nothing better than a good word. The name of a thing may easily be more than the thing itself to me.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Only during hard times do people come to understand how difficult it is to be master of their feelings and thoughts.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
