Loud

Famous quotes containing the word loud:

“There sighs, lamentations and loud wailings resounded through the starless air, so that at first it made me weep; strange tongues, horrible language, words of pain, tones of anger, voices loud and hoarse, and with these the sound of hands, made a tumult which is whirling through that air forever dark, as sand eddies in a whirlwind.”
—Dante Alighieri (1265–1321)

“Those with very loud voices in their throats are nearly incapable of thinking subtle thoughts.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“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)
