Loud

Famous quotes containing the word loud:

    “The square dance fiddler’s first concern is to carry a tune, but he must carry it loud enough to be heard over the noise of stamping feet, the cries of the “caller,” and the shouts of the dancers. When he fiddles, he “fiddles all over”; feet, hands, knees, head, and eyes are all busy.”
    —State of Oklahoma, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “And we talked of girls, and dropping bombs on Rome,
    And thought of the quiet dead and the loud celebrities
    Exhorting us to slaughter,”
    —Alun Lewis (1915–1944)

    “Let us be different in our homes. Let us realize that along with food, shelter, and clothing, we have another obligation to our children, and that is to affirm their “rightness.” The whole world will tell them what’s wrong with them—out loud and often. Our job is to let our children know what’s right about them.”
    —Adele Faber (20th century)
