Ear Quotes (page 2)

Is it not curious, that so vast a being as the whale should see the world through so small an eye, and hear the thunder through an ear which is smaller than a hare's?

Not at all.—Why then do you try to "enlarge" your mind? Subtilize it Herman Melville
The door, indeed, stood open as before; but the windows were still shuttered, the chimneys breathed no stain into the bright air, there sounded abroad none of that low stir (perhaps audible rather to the ear of the spirit than to the ear of the flesh) by which a house announces and betrays its human lodgers. Robert Louis Stevenson
E. E. Cummings quote: "Now the ears of my ears are awake and now the eyes of my eyes..."
Now the ears of my ears are awake and now the eyes of my eyes are opened. E. E. Cummings
I looked. George Shearing. And as always he leaned his blind head on his pale hand, all ears opened like the ears of an elephant, listening to the American sounds and mastering them for his own English summer's-night use.

It is my mind which thinks, and the judgement of my mind is the only searchlight that can find the truth. It is my will which chooses, and the choice of my will is the only edict I must respect. Ayn Rand
The eye solicited alone makes the ear impatient, the ear solicited alone makes the eye impatient. Use these impatiences. Power of the cinematographer who appeals to the two senses in a governable way. Against the tactics of speed, of noise, set tactics of slowness, of silence. Robert Bresson
One of my sensory problems was hearing sensitivity, where certain loud noises, such as a school bell, hurt my ears. It sounded like a dentist drill going through my ears. Temple Grandin
I was improvising before I was reading music. I was just trying to play things on the clarinet by ear. I think my ear is one of my greatest assets. Pete Fountain
Another night I dreamed I heard heavenly music sounding in my ears, and a flock of sheep was gathering round it. When the music ceased, the sheep leaped for joy, and ran together, shaking their heads; and one shook his head almost off, and seemed to have nothing but ears. Joanna Southcott
I think my wife saw a picture of the rock group Journey, and they're kind of aging, and the one guy had dyed blonde hair with black roots, and... my idea was to get a little earring, I wanted to have a dangling earring. Fred Willard
Henry Taylor quote: "No siren did ever so charm the ear of the listener as the..."
No siren did ever so charm the ear of the listener as the listening ear has charmed the soul of the siren. Henry Taylor
Rooney Mara quote: "I didn't even have pierced ears. They put four holes in each..."
I didn't even have pierced ears. They put four holes in each ear, and, weirdly, that hurt the most. Rooney Mara
Bubba Sparxxx quote: "I feel that my ear candy is a little different from the ear..."
I feel that my ear candy is a little different from the ear candy most people are receiving right now. Bubba Sparxxx
Malcolm De Chazal quote: "We sometimes laugh from ear to ear, but it would be impossible..."
We sometimes laugh from ear to ear, but it would be impossible for a smile to be wider than the distance between our eyes. Malcolm De Chazal
Maria Callas quote: "When music fails to agree to the ear, to soothe the ear and..."
When music fails to agree to the ear, to soothe the ear and the heart and the senses, then it has missed the point. Maria Callas
