Sound Quotes

You're so much more endearing with the sound turned off.

Brandon Boyd

When I sing, I close my eyes. If I see a feather, everything is fine. Without this image in my mind, the sound is not 'truthful' enough and I must begin again. I have to. I first had this feeling, this instinct with Phantom of the Opera and since then have always listened to it.

Sarah Brightman

Adoniram Judson

Marvin Harris
