I tell cold callers I'm very interested but a bit deaf, my hearing aid is not working properly and can they speak up. The idea is to deliberately miss-hear what they say, ask them to repeat, only louder, and see how loud I can get them to shout. After a while I say "I'm not really deaf" and was just wasting their time, as they were doing with me.

If the deaf are to hear the sound has to be very loud

Bhagat Singh

If the deaf are to hear, the sound has to be very loud. When we dropped the bomb, it was not our intention to kill anybody. We have bombed the British Government. The British must quit India and make her free.

Bhagat Singh

Even if nobody's singing, just when you talk, you're singing. I'll meet somebody and say, "Oh, I'm tone-deaf." I say, "You're not tone-deaf, because if you were tone-deaf you would speak like that. But you're 'Oh, I'm tone-deaf.' You already sang a song to me."

Wynton Marsalis

I grew up with deaf teachers, and I thought all deaf children should have exposure to deaf educators.

Nyle DiMarco

Everything I said he agreed with, which was trying, and his flute playing would make the deaf wince, but I think the real problem with Hyacinth was that he reminded me of myself. He read poetry. He flinched at loud noises. In addition to having no musical skills, he had no martial skills. He avoided any situation that might require physical effort on his part. Seeing him, I found it no wonder that my father despised me.

We used to have massively long discussions about how we should stand on stage. Should we stand with our legs apart? No, all the guys with guitars in skinny jeans stand with their legs apart, and you'd think, 'We can't stand like that.' We'd spend hours and hours, days and days, discussing how to stand.

Viv Albertine

I know a little bit about deaf culture because a friend of mine has been in the deaf culture for awhile. Over the course of 25 years, she and I have talked about many of the issues and concerns for deaf people and deaf culture.

John Scalzi

I've always considered myself a folk singer, even though we strapped on Rickenbacker guitars and played pretty loud.

Roger McGuinn

I'm a huge fan of sing-songy lyrics and loud guitars. Whatever punk band does that gets a gold star!

Kim Shattuck

I've seen the needless struggles that deaf children and deaf people face, and that gave me the impetus to write.

Rachel Shenton

There are many issues within the deaf community but, for me, none more important than access to education for deaf children.

I collect as many acoustic guitars as I need for a specific purpose. Acoustic guitars are really just tools for me.

Joe Bonamassa

I love guitars, and guitars love me, but sometimes they need new homes where they can live to rock another day.

Rick Nielsen

One of the first things that you learn as a stand-up is, you're the boss. It's your stage, and don't screw with me because I'll make you look bad, which I had to do, because you wind up with drunks and loud people.

Bob Newhart

I like loud snare, and I like really treble-y guitars, and that's just never going to change.
