Famous quotes containing the words voice and/or stream:
“This, mayhap, was not logic, but it was something more potent, more real than logic—the soft insinuating voice of Sentiment.”
—Emmuska, Baroness Orczy (1865–1947)
“A self is, by its very essence, a being with a past. One must look lengthwise backwards in the stream of time in order to see the self, or its shadow, now moving with the stream, now eddying in the currents from bank to bank of its channel, and now strenuously straining onwards in the pursuit of its chosen good.”
—Josiah Royce (1855–1916)
