Voice Types

Famous quotes containing the words voice and/or types:

    Fear, then, so wounded me
    As fell upon my ear
    The voice a blind man dreams
    And broke on me the smile
    I dreamed as deaf men hear,
    Jean Garrigue (1914–1972)

    As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn’t make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting—the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.
    Saul Bellow (b. 1915)
