But... Teflon takes a shot and shows the damage. It cannot heal itself. That is our strength: we can heal. We can make ourselves stronger. You can be a bright light in a sea of shit, doesn't matter how big the light is as long as it shines. Get a hold of some of that and don't blow your brains out... Henry Rollins

Wise Penelope! That's was Odysseus said to his wife when he got home. I don't think he ever told her he loved her. He probably knew the words would sound too small. Hugh MacLennan
I will raise my voice as long as God gives me sound or ability, against this Communistic idea that the Government will take care of us all, and everything belongs to the government. It is wrong! David O. McKay

It sounded like a piece of blackboard being dragged over the nails of a wall of severed fingers. Neil Gaiman
When there came a sound that I'd never heard the like of in all my born days. Eh, I won't forget that. The whole air was full of it, loud as thunder but far longer, cool and sweet as music over water but strong enough to shake the woods. And I said to myself, 'If that's not the Horn, call me a rabbit. C. S. Lewis
Ludwig Wittgenstein quote: "Sometimes, in doing philosophy, one just wants to utter an..."
Sometimes, in doing philosophy, one just wants to utter an inarticulate sound. Ludwig Wittgenstein
Herman Melville quote: "At length I fell asleep, with the volume in my hand; and never..."
