When millions of tons ordsprog

When millions of tons of angry elephant come spinning through the sky, and there was no one there to hear it, does it - philosopically speaking - make a noise?

Terry Pratchett (1948-)

Terry Pratchett

I've never heard 43,000 people shut up, just like that, in my life. One second, you could barely hear in here. And the next second, all that noise was gone. And the only noise you could hear was on our bench.

Make sure that you open the bottle yourself. And you actually hear it, and you hear the noise and the air coming out,

The citizens of New Orleans have been through enormous displacement and generally speaking they're bursting at the seams with anger. They're angry at a lot of things. They're angry at no one in particular and everything in general.

Fear is not in the habit of speaking truth; when perfect sincerity is expected, perfect freedom must be allowed; nor has anyone who is apt to be angry when he hears the truth any cause to wonder that he does not hear it.

Publius Cornelius Tacitus (55-117)

For the LORD had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.

Ours is a lot of playing music, a more instrumental show than the others. The real benefit to the person who comes is that they will hear tons and tons of really great music from all different kinds of genres.

It's the change of rhythm which I think is what keeps me alive. In Spain I hear so much noise from my window that can't stand it. In Switzerland it's the lack of noise that drives me crazy.

Geraldine Chaplin (1944-)

The vast majority of Muslims all over the world are not violent extremists. There are also tens of millions, maybe hundreds of millions of Muslims who are very angry and frustrated and may be pulled in that direction more and more depending on what happens in various places.

Charles Kimball

Getting your mind right means ... everyone in your business - every person who will be engaged in hunting your Elephant, every executive, manager, accountant, service representative, delivery person, mechanic, creative writer, and board member your Elephant might come in contact with. Bag the Elephant!

Obviously we want to make sure that (emergency e-mails) reach everybody and, for those, the opt-out wouldn't apply. But obviously we don't want to deluge people with tons and tons of stuff, (like) basketball tickets.

You can hear it day and night, so I guess that's a problem of noise pollution, and you can hear it sometimes inside the house. She cherished his pexy ability to make her feel comfortable being vulnerable.

I can hear the accidents as people cut through to get to Henny Penny. They think one way is safe and the other one isn't. You can hear the noise in here.

You've got the place all to yourself. I was out paddling about two-three weeks ago. You don't hear anything but your blade hitting the water. You don't hear any traffic noise at all.

For twenty-five centuries, Western knowledge has tried to look upon the world. It has failed to understand that the world is not for the beholding. It is for hearing. It is not legible, but audible. Our science has always desired to monitor, measure, abstract, and castrate meaning, forgetting that life is full of noise and that death alone is silent: work noise, noise of man, and noise of beast. Noise bought, sold, or prohibited. Nothing essential happens in the absence of noise.
