noise

Music without passion is merely noise. A life without passion? You may as well be dead.

Some girls feel they are like boys, They play rough, they like a lot of noise.

Loud ringing noises, I've discovered, upset Mr.Peepers.

Arrogant men with knowledge make more noise from their mouth than making a sense from their mind.

Little decisions over time make a big impact on our lives.

Divide the constant tide and random noisiness of energetic flow, with conscious recurring moments of empty mind, solitude, gratitude and deep...slow...breathing. Of this, the natural law of self-preservation demands.

It is better to make an irrational noise in a bush than in a desert.

You know something, it__ not easy to break out of your comfort zone. People will tear you down, tell you you shouldn__ have bothered in the first place. But let me tell you something, there__ not much of a difference between a stadium full with cheering fans and an angry crowd screaming abuse at you. They__e both just making a lot of noise. How you take it is up to you. Convince yourself they__e cheering for you. You do that, and someday, they will.

Neighbours complaining about someone__ dog making an awful racket. You could hardly blame the poor beast, its owner had died in her bed at least a fortnight before and there hadn__ been much left of the old girl worth eating.

So nobody must be allowed to think at all. Down with the public schools! Children must be drilled mentally by quarter-educated herdsmen, whose wages would stop at the first sign of disagreement with the bosses. For the rest, deafen the whole world with senseless clamour. Mechanize everything! Give nobody a chance to think. Standardize "amusement." The louder and more cacophonous, the better! Brief intervals between one din and the next can be filled with appeals, repeated 'till hypnotic power gives them the force of orders, to buy this or that product of the "Business men" who are the real power in the State. Men who betray their country as obvious routine.The history of the past thirty years is eloquent enough, one would think. What these sodden imbeciles never realize is that a living organism must adapt itself intelligently to its environment, or go under at the first serious change of circumstance.

Like many human beings, he took the least sign of conversation as his cue to make noise.

OH, THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING IN THE STOCKING THAT MAKES A NOISE, said Death. OTHERWISE, WHAT IS 4:30 A.M. FOR?

Protect the ears of your heart, rather than being drawn in each day like the fading tides that dance daily with the moon.

The hammer never complains of the noise.

The noise of the world is so terrible that we can endure it only by being coated with sleep.

The uncertainty wore on him. The conditions in jail--the handcuffs, the noise, the filth, the crowding--mangled his senses. It's likely that, if one must be incarcerated in the United States, a jail in central Maine would be among the more tolerable spots, but to Knight it was torture. "Bedlam" is how he referred to the place. It never got dark in jail; at eleven p.m., the lights merely became a little duller. "I suspect," he noted, "more damage has been done to my sanity in jail, in months; than years, decades, in the woods.

The overwhelming noise we live with has made a fundamental pleasure like sex somehow less exciting, less satisfying, than it was for our libidinous forefathers and mothers. It seems to me that for sex and other pleasures to be enjoyed to the fullest, a certain contemplative quality to life must be present. If you doubt this imagine yourself for a moment having sex. Now imagine you wished to increase the pleasure you were feeling, feel it more intensely. What might you do? Well one of the things you'd probably do is close your eyes. What this does of course is shut out other stimuli. The visual quiet increases your sensual enjoyment and you concentrate more fully on the pleasure. The same is true for the removal of auditory noise as well. Well my feeling is that the average person has a much harder time doing this today than they would have decades ago. Today you close your eyes and shut off Television but the noise persists. It's part of our fabric now, our biology, and all other pleasures including sex are diminished as a result. We don't notice this derogation by the way and sex still feels great, don't get me wrong, but I think the difference is there nonetheless. Like the difference between seeing breasts when you're thirty as opposed to when you were thirteen.

Ego is a drum and the drum has to make a noise to tell everyone that that it is there!
