Sound

Famous quotes containing the word sound:

    The sound of tireless voices is the price we pay for the right to hear the music of our own opinions. But there is also, it seems to me, a moment at which democracy must prove its capacity to act. Every man has a right to be heard; but no man has the right to strangle democracy with a single set of vocal chords.
    Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)

    The last sound on the worthless earth will be two human beings trying to launch a homemade spaceship and already quarreling about where they are going next.
    William Faulkner (1897–1962)

    When poets go off the boil, they sound like bumble bees; when critics do, they sound like sewing machines.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
