“Today the mockingbird does not sound very happy. It sounds if it is coming apart. As of the very heart of itself-its song-is breaking into pieces and flying off in a hundred directions.”

“The sounds of extinct birds may be preserved in the songs of mockingbirds”

“When the chord of monotony is stretched to its tightest, it breaks with the sound of a song.”

“It doesn't sound very safe." - Colt"We're breaking into a company owned by aliens who want to wipe humans off the map. It's not supposed to be safe." - Oz"I guess you have a point." - Colt”

“What you call love does not sound very beautiful.”

“Think of the sound you make when you let go after holding your breath for a very, very long time. Think of the gladdest sound you know: the sound of dawn on the first day of spring break, the sound of a bottle of Coke opening, the sound of a crowd cheering in your ears because you're coming down to the last part of a race--and you're ahead. Think of the sound of water over stones in a cold stream, and the sound of wind through green trees on a late May afternoon in Central Park. Think of the sound of a bus coming into the station carrying someone you love. Then put all those together.”
