“Every accent, every emphasis, every modulation of voice, was so perfectly well turned and well placed, that, without being interested in the subject, one could not help being pleased with the discourse; a pleasure of much the same kind with that received from an excellent piece of music. This is an advantage itinerant preachers have over those who are stationary, as the latter can not well improve their delivery of a sermon by so many rehearsals.”
Benjamin Franklin
“Newer digital drives with flexible modulation schemes significantly reduce current ripple. Center-aligned modulation is one such technique, particularly for high-speed or low inductance motors.”
John Chandler
“I believe the diet has a powerful effect in modulating aging.”
Luigi Fontana
“Latinos are very sensitive to different accents. I sort of lost my Mexican accent, and that's what they were looking for in this case — some sort of neutral accent that could be understood on both coasts and in different Hispanic communities: Puerto Ricans on the East Coast, Cubans in Fort Lauderdale and Mexican-Americans in Los Angeles.”
Jorge Ramos
“It helps if you have an ear for voices and accents,”
Jim Dale
“There are accents in the eye which are not on the tongue, and more tales come from pale lips than can enter an ear. It is both the grandeur and the pain of the remoter moods that they avoid the pathway of sound.”
Thomas Hardy
“It comes to pass oft that a terrible oath, with a swaggering accent sharply twanged off, gives manhood more approbation than ever proof itself would have earned him.”
William Shakespeare
