Famous quotes containing the word voice:

    “Everything that is right or natural pleads for separation. The blood of the slain, the weeping voice of nature cries, ‘tis time to part.”
    —Thomas Paine (1737–1809)

    “And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps.”
    —Bible: New Testament St. John the Divine, in Revelation, 14:2.

    “And prayer is more
    Than an order of words, the conscious occupation
    Of the praying mind, or the sound of the voice praying.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
