Sounds

Famous quotes containing the word sounds:

“To me no profitable speech sounds ill.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

“Why is it that reality, when set down untransposed in a book, sounds false?”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)

“Denotation by means of sounds and markings is a remarkable abstraction. Three letters designate God for me; several lines a million things. How easy becomes the manipulation of the universe here, how evident the concentration of the intellectual world! Language is the dynamics of the spiritual realm. One word of command moves armies; the word liberty entire nations.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
