Middle Voice

Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or voice:

    Complete courage and absolute cowardice are extremes that very few men fall into. The vast middle space contains all the intermediate kinds and degrees of courage; and these differ as much from one another as men’s faces or their humors do.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    O make harmonious mix of voice and string
    To him by whom the skies with clouds are lin’d;
    By whom the rain, from clouds to drop assign’d,
    Supples the clods of summer-scorched fields,
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalm CXLVII (Paraphrased by The Countess of Pembroke)
