| Quote:I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by.[Douglas Adams] Quote:Haven't you learned anything from that guy that gives those sermons in church? Captain What's-his-name. We live in a society of laws, why do you think I took you to see all those Police Academy movies? For fun? Well I didn't hear anybody laughing! Did you? Except at that guy who made sound effects. Vroom! Beep! Honk! Honk! Ha-ha. Where was I? Oh yeah, stay out of my booze![Homer Simpson] Quote:The sounder your argument, the more satisfaction you get out of it.[Edgar Watson Howe] Quote:A young man who wishes to remain a sound Atheist cannot be too careful of his reading. There are traps everywhere--'Bibles laid open, millions of surprises,' as Herbert says, 'fine nets and stratagems.' God is, if I may say it, very unscrupulous.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:I hate rap music, which to me sounds like a bunch of angry men shouting, possibly because the person who was supposed to provide them with a melody never showed up.[Dave Barry] Quote:I have not felt remotely cool for a long time, thanks largely to the relentless efforts of my teenage son, whose goal in life is to make me feel 3,500 years old. We'll be in the car, and he'll say, 'You wanna hear my new CD?' And I, flattered that he thinks his old man might like the same music he does, will say 'Sure!' So he increases the sound-system volume setting from '4' to 'Meteor Impact,' and he puts in a CD by a band with a name like 'Pustule,' and the next thing I know gigantic nuclear bass notes have blown out all the car windows and activated both the driver- and passenger-side air bags, and I'm writhing on the floor, screaming for mercy with jets of blood spurting three feet from my ears. My son then ejects the CD, smiling contentedly, knowing he as purchased a winner. On those extremely rare occasions when I like one of his CDs, I imagine he destroys it with a blowtorch.[Dave Barry] Quote:Money can help you to get medicines but not health. Money can help you to get soft pillows, but not sound sleep. Money can help you to get material comforts, but not eternal bliss. Money can help you to get ornaments, but not beauty. Money will help you to get an electric earphone, but not natural hearing. Attain the supreme wealth, wisdom, and you will have everything.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Chicago sounds rough to the maker of verse. One comfort we have: Cincinnati sounds worse.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good.[Thomas Sowell] Quote:If there is one sound the follows the march of humanity, it is the scream.[David Gemmell] Quote:Divide and rule, a sound motto. Unite and lead, a better one.[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe] Quote:How good bad music and bad reasons sound when we march against an enemy.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Weird, isn't it? Somehow in the dead of winter when its 40 below, so cold your words just freeze in the air, you think you'll never hear a robin's song again or see a blossom on a cherry tree, when one day you wake up and bingo, light coming through the mini blinds is softened with a tick of rose and the cold morning air has lost its bite. It's spring once again, the streets are paved with mud and the hills are alive with the sound of mosquitos. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:We have too many high sounding words, and too few actions that correspond with them. [Abigail Adams] Quote:We have too many high sounding words, and too few actions that correspond with them. [Abigail Adams] Quote:Wagner's music is better than it sounds. [Chuck] Quote:You're alive. Do something. The directive in life, the moral imperative was so uncomplicated. It could be expressed in single words, not complete sentences. It sounded like this: Look. Listen. Choose. Act.
