Quotes About Voice

A single and same voice for the whole thousand-voiced multiple, a single and same Ocean for all the drops, a single clamour of Being for all beings: on condition that each being, each drop and each voice has reached the state of excess -- in other words, the difference which displaces and disguises them and, in turning upon its mobile cusp, causes them to return.
~ Gilles Deleuze

Did you know that the human voice is the only pure instrument? That it has notes no other instrument has? It's like being between the keys of a piano.
