Involuntary Speech

Famous quotes containing the words involuntary and/or speech:

“We are things of dry hours and the involuntary plan,
Grayed in, and gray. “Dream” makes a giddy sound, not strong
Like “rent,” “feeding a wife,” “satisfying a man.””
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

“I, schooled in misery, know many purifying rites, and I know where speech is proper and where silence.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
