Noise Levels

Famous quotes containing the words noise and/or levels:

    There is always a certain noise in applause: even in the applause we give ourselves.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Pushkin’s composition is first of all and above all a phenomenon of style, and it is from this flowered rim that I have surveyed its seep of Arcadian country, the serpentine gleam of its imported brooks, the miniature blizzards imprisoned in round crystal, and the many-hued levels of literary parody blending in the melting distance.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
