Results from Laura Moncur's Motivational Quotations:

When you get right down to it, what we all need is a place to go... A place where we can escape the noise of our lives and just relax.: Takayuki Ikkaku, Arisa Hosaka and Toshihiro Kawabata, Animal Crossing: Wild World, 2005
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.: Steve Jobs (1955 - 2011), Stanford Commencement Adress, 2005

Everybody has their taste in noises as well as in other matters; and sounds are quite innoxious, or most distressing, by their sort rather than their quantity.: Jane Austen (1775 - 1817), Persuasion, 1818

Results from Classic Quotes:

He who establishes his argument by noise and command, shows that his reason is weak.: Michel de Montaigne (1533 - 1592)
The amount of noise which anyone can bear undisturbed stands in inverse proportion to his mental capacity.: Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860)
Nonsense and noise will oft prevail, when honour and affection fail.: William Lloyd
Noise is the most impertinent of all forms of interruption. It is not only an interruption, but is also a disruption of thought.: Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860)
I pray you bear me henceforth from the noise and rumour of the field, where I may think the remnant of my thoughts in peace, and part of this body and my soul with contemplation and devout desires.: William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)
The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanely sensitive. To them... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create -- so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, their very breath is cut off... They must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency they are not really alive unless they are creating.: Pearl Buck (1892 - 1973)
Just as big cities can deplete you with their noise and crowds and sheer sensory overload, a hospital can exhaust you, as its changing faces and personalities blur and strangers wake you repeatedly.: Diane Ackerman, One Hundred Names for Love: A Stroke, A Marriage, and the Language of Healing, 2011
