Sound

Famous quotes containing the word sound:

    Sophocles long ago
    Heard it on the Aegaean, and it brought
    Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow
    Of human misery; we
    Find also in the sound a thought,
    Hearing it by this distant northern sea.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    How good bad music and bad reasons sound when we are marching into battle against an enemy.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Al: Ain’t you gonna look back, Ma? Give the old place a last look?
    Ma Joad: We’re goin’ to California, ain’t we? Alright then, let’s go to California.
    Al: That don’t sound like you, Ma. You never was like that before.
    Ma Joad: I never had my house pushed over before. Never had my family stuck out on the road. I never had to lose everything I had in life.
    Nunnally Johnson (1897–1977)
