“There was once a town in the heart of America where all life seemed to live in harmony with its surroundings Then a strange blight crept over the area and everything began to change There was a strange stillness The few birds seen anywhere were moribund; they trembled violently and could not fly. It was a spring without voices. On the mornings that had once throbbed with the dawn chorus of scores of bird voices there was now no sound; only silence lay over the fields and woods and marsh.” HeartAmericaSoundVoiceSilenceMorningFieldsStrangeSpringBirdAreasTownsHarmonyLaysWoodsDawnScoreStillnessSurroundingsChorusEcoMarshesBlight Author:Rachel Carson
“In recent years it has become impossible to talk about man's relation to nature without referring to "ecology"...such leading scientists in this area as Rachel Carson, Barry Commoner, Eugene Odum, Paul Ehrlich and others, have become our new delphic voices...so influential has their branch of science become that our time might well be called the "Age of Ecology".” MenYearsWellsMightAgeVoiceImpossibleAreasScientistRelationOur TimeBranchesEcologyInfluentialReferringCommoners Author:Rachel Carson

“Be willing to take some risks in the areas of work and money. If we do only what we think we should do in order to make money and be secure, we won't listen to the intuitive voice that tells us to try something new, to be more creative, or to move on to the next step on our path. When we listen to our intuition and take some risks, we are not alone.

“I have such happy memories of performing in a choir and I don't think I'd have got where I am today without all that experience. So my advice to young singers is to either join your school or church's choir or find one in your local area. Choral music at any level teaches you so much about musicianship and blending your voice.” ThinkingTodaySchoolYoungVoiceChurchMemoriesLevelsTeachAdviceAreasSingersLocalsPerformingChoirHappy MemoriesMusicianshipChurch ChoirChoral Music Author:Katherine Jenkins
“I had a hole in my voice. It's an area in the voice where it's air. It's just - there's no - it's just very airy. And my classical teachers were just so frustrated with me because I would have these deep, low notes that were really strong, and the higher register was strong, but right in that middle area, it was really hard. It was like a passage. And many singers go through this and work it out. But I realized in jazz, I could just take advantage of that and take advantage of having a voice that was very different in different areas.” DifferentHardStrongVoiceTeacherAirMiddleHigherLowsAdvantageAreasJazzNotesSingersI RealizedHolesWorking ItPassagesFrustratedRegisterAiry Author:Cecile McLorin Salvant

“I had relatives in New York City who I stayed with. And in those days, the area from Union Square down Fourth Avenue had small bookstores, many of which were run by Spanish immigrants who'd fled after [Francisco] Franco's victory. I spent time in them, and also in the offices of Freie Arbeiter Stimme (Free Worker's Voice) with anarchists. I picked up a lot of material and talked to people, and it became a major influence.” PeopleRunningVoiceCitiesInfluenceNew YorkMaterialsVictoryOfficeMajorsAreasUnionsWorkersImmigrantsNew York CitySquaresFourthAvenuesAnarchistBookstoresFrancoFrancisco Franco Author:Noam Chomsky
“"Clove!" Cato's voice is much nearer now. I can tell by the pain in it that he sees her on the ground. "You better run now, Fire Girl," says Thresh. I don't need to be told twice. I flip over and my feet dig into the hard-packed earth as I run away from Thresh and Clove and the sound of Cato's voice. Only when I reach the woods do I turn back for an instant. Thresh and both large backpacks are vanishing over the edge of the plain into the area I've never seen. Cato kneels beside Clove, spear in hand, begging her to stay with him. In a moment, he will realize it's futile; she can't be saved.” NeedsI CanHardMomentsHandsRunningEarthPainTurnsGirlSoundVoiceRealizingFireFeetAreasEdgesWoodsSavedInstantRunning AwayFlipBeggingSpearsVanishingOver The EdgeCatoThresh Author:Suzanne Collins
