Hears

Famous quotes containing the word hears:

    The parent is the strongest statement that the child hears regarding what it means to be alive and real. More than what we say or do, the way we are expresses what we think it means to be alive. So the articulate parent is less a telling than a listening individual.
    Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)

    That which, perhaps, hears more nonsense than anything in the world, is a picture in a museum.
    Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)

    Who ever hears of fat men heading a riot, or herding together in turbulent mobs?—No—no, ‘tis your lean, hungry men who are continually worrying society, and setting the whole community by the ears.
    Washington Irving (1783–1859)
