Quote examples
Richard Dawkins
English Scientist
We humans are an extremely important manifestation of the replication bomb, because it is through us - through our brains, our symbolic culture and our technology - that the explosion may proceed to the next stage and reverberate through deep space.

Quote examples
George Benson
American Musician
My stepfather had an electric guitar. He went to his pawn store one day to get a guitar and an amp, and I couldn't understand what I was hearing. All afternoon, I just sat against the amp and let it reverberate through me. Something must have stuck.

Quote examples
Lorne Greene
Canadian Actor
I think the hearing loss started with 'Bonanza.' Sometimes the director would put us in a box canyon and have us fire our guns. The sound would really reverberate in a box canyon. It took me a long time to realize what was coming on me.

Quote examples
F. L. Lucas
English Critic

Quote examples
Jenji Kohan
American Director

Quote examples
Paul G. Tremblay
