Famous quotes containing the words parry and/or sound:

    “Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins. We parry and fend the approach of our fellow-man by compliments, by gossip, by amusements, by affairs. We cover up our thought from him under a hundred folds.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
