Noise Levels

Famous quotes containing the words noise and/or levels:

    But what it was, alas, I cannot tell,
    Because of it I had no perfect view;
    But as it was, by guess, I wish it well
    And will until I see the same anew.
    Shadow, or she, or both, or choose you whither:
    Blest be the thing that brought the shadow hither.
    —Unknown. I Heard a Noise and Wishèd for a Sight (l. 13–18)

    The word which gives the key to the national vice is waste. And people who are wasteful are not wise, neither can they remain young and vigorous. In order to transmute energy to higher and more subtle levels one must first conserve it.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)
