Famous quotes containing the words noise and/or headphones:

    “Places where he might live and die and never hear of the United States, which make such a noise in the world,—never hear of America, so called from the name of a European gentleman.”

    “At length to hospital
    This man was limited,
    Where screens leant on the wall
    And idle headphones hung.
    Since he would soon be dead
    They let his wife come along
    And pour out tea, each day.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
