Echoes Quotes

We strain to listen to the ghosts and echoes of our inexpressibly wise past, and we have an obligation to maintain these places, to provide these sanctuaries, so that people may be in the presence of forces larger than those of the moment Picture Quote #1

When the oak is felled the whole forest echoes with it fall, but a hundred acorns are sown in silence by an unnoticed breeze Picture Quote #1

Joy is the sweet voice, joy the luminous cloud. We in ourselves rejoice! And thence flows all that charms or ear or sight, all melodies the echoes of that voice, all colours a suffusion from that light Picture Quote #1

For all is like an ocean, all flows and connects; touch it in one place and it echoes at the other end of the world Picture Quote #1

People want nothing but mirrors around them. To reflect them while they’re reflecting too... Reflections of reflections and echoes of echoes. No beginning and no end. No center and no purpose Picture Quote #1

Sometimes big things happen, and they echo. Those echoes crash across worlds. They are the ripples in the fabric of things. Often they manifest as storms. Reality is a fragile thing, after all Picture Quote #1

The colors of living things begin to fade with the last breath, and the soft, springy skin and supple muscle rot within weeks. But the bones sometimes remain, faithful echoes of the shape, to bear some last faint witness to the glory of what was Picture Quote #1

We are all of us more or less echoes, repeating involuntarily the virtues, the defects, the movements, and the characters of those among whom we live Picture Quote #1

When we are in health, all sounds fife and drum for us; we hear the notes of music in the air, or catch its echoes dying away when we awake in the dawn Picture Quote #1

At the top of your lungs, shout and listen to the echoes. You must live life at the top of your voice! Picture Quote #1

I want my kids to head out the door full of peace, not the echoes of my frustrations Picture Quote #1

When you hold a child to your breast to nurse, the curve of the little head echoes exactly the curve of the breast it suckles, as though this new person truly mirrors the flesh from which it sprang Picture Quote #1

Like many modern poets, I tend to conceal rhymes by placing them in the middle of lines, and to avoid immediate alliteration and assonance in favor of echoes placed later in the poems Picture Quote #1

The stories that unfold in the space of a writer’s study, the objects chosen to watch over a desk, the books selected to sit on the shelves, all weave a web of echoes and reflections of meanings and affections, that lend a visitor the illusion that something of the owner of this space lives on between these walls, even if the owner is no more Picture Quote #1

Looking forward into an empty year strikes one with a certain awe, because one finds therein no recognition. The years behind have a friendly aspect, and they are warmed by the fires we have kindled, and all their echoes are the echoes of our own voices Picture Quote #1

Memory itself is an internal rumour; and when to this hearsay within the mind we add the falsified echoes that reach us from others, we have but a shifting and unseizable basis to build upon. The picture we frame of the past changes continually and grows every day less similar to the original experience which it purports to describe Picture Quote #1

Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer Picture Quote #1

This inevitability of conflict motivates us today and echoes the reminder that freedom is not given away and our national security is not achieved without sacrifice Picture Quote #1

Mute though his lips be, yet they still speak. Hushed is his voice, but its echoes of liberty are ringing through the world, and the sons of bondage listen with joy Picture Quote #1

We should embrace the disagreement that echoes in this chamber because this is the forum that the founders of our great country envisioned Picture Quote #1

Multitudinous echoes awoke and died in the distance... And, when the echoes had ceased, like a sense of pain was the silence Picture Quote #1

Fate sits on these dark battlements, and frowns; and as the portals open to receive me, her voice, in sullen echoes, through the courts, tells of a nameless deed Picture Quote #1

The echoes of childhood torments have great power, even when not brought to mind in such an inexplicable and horrifying way Picture Quote #1

How cruelly sweet are the echoes that start When memory plays an old tune on the heart Picture Quote #1

To say that you can’t see echoes of the past in what I do would be absurd. Everything that has preceded me has affected me Picture Quote #1

We need that expression. Whether we want to call it protest or not, we need to express and echo the echoes of the people. Artists need to do that Picture Quote #1

Certain artists have a role to echo the echoes of the people and that’s what I’ll be doing on my next album Picture Quote #1

I’m hearing echoes of Bill Clinton, circa 1996, in President Obama’s reelection rhetoric Picture Quote #1

No way of thinking or doing, however ancient, can be trusted without proof. What everybody echoes or in silence passes by as true today may turn out to be falsehood tomorrow Picture Quote #1

The Prisoner’s Wife echoes Edwidge Danticat’s Farming of the Bones in the urgency in which it reminds us of the possibility of love even amidst the ruins. This is a terrifying, heart-breaking and, ultimately, important book Picture Quote #1
