Sound

Famous quotes containing the word sound:

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The Young Man’s Best Companion, The Farrier’s Sure Guide, The Veterinary Surgeon, Paradise Lost, The Pilgrim’s Progress, Robinson Crusoe, Ash’s Dictionary, and Walkingame’s Arithmetic, constituted his library; and though a limited series, it was one from which he had acquired more sound information by diligent perusal than many a man of opportunities had done from a furlong of laden shelves.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

“Dignity takes alarm at the unexpected sound of laughter.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
