Sounds

Famous quotes containing the word sounds:

    I that so long
    Was Nothing from Eternity,
    Did little think such Joys as Ear and Tongue
    To celebrate or see:
    Such Sounds to hear, such Hands to feel, such Feet,
    Such Eyes and Objects, on the Ground to meet.
    Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)

    Newsmen believe that news is a tacitly acknowledged fourth branch of the federal system. This is why most news about government sounds as if it were federally mandated—serious, bulky and blandly worthwhile, like a high-fiber diet set in type.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    I used to be angry all the time and I’d sit there weaving my anger. Now I’m not angry. I sit there hearing the sounds outside, the sounds in the room, the sounds of the treadles and heddles—a music of my own making.
    Bhakti Ziek (b. c. 1946)
