Louder

Famous quotes containing the word louder:

    Louder please? If I spoke any louder I woud need a telephone!
    Mahatma Kane Jeeves, U.S. screenwriter, and Eddie Cline. Egbert Sousé (W.C. Fields)

    “The work is done,” grown old he thought,
    “According to my boyish plan;
    Let the fools rage, I swerved in nought,
    Something to perfection brought;”
    But louder sang that ghost “What then?”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The difference between farce and humour in literature is, I suppose, that farce strums louder and louder on one string, while humour varies its note, changes its key, grows and spreads and deepens until it may indeed reach tragic depths.
    —V.S. (Victor Sawdon)
