“The sound of the waves was more soothing than any other sound in the world, save maybe the rain.”
“Humming is the sign of the truly asocial man, for no other sound is at once so soothing and pleasant to its maker and so irritating to any other listener.”
“We do not realize the sound the world makes-unless of course, it comes to a stop. Then, when it starts, it sounds like an orchestra.Breaking waves. Whipping wind. Falling rain. Squawking birds. All throughout the universe, time resumed and nature sang.”
“There is no sound more peaceful than rain on the roof, if you're safe asleep in someone else's house.”
“The rain sounded like it was washing the whole world away.”
“Silence was not the absence of sound but was itself a sound that could be loud or soft, soothing or disturbing, complex or simple.”
