Cords Quotes

What happened was that I had polyps on my vocal cords for about six years. I had them lasered off each time. But then I had a little twinge of a problem while I was doing Rising Sun (1993). I couldn`t get the timbre of my voice right. I couldn`t get the variation and enunciation as comfortable as I wanted. So I went back to the doctor and he suggested radiation. I went for six weeks and didn`t have any side effects or problems. Then I made the announcement that I had done radiation treatment.

When men hear a male voice they process it in the `mind`s eye.` This is the part of the brain where people compare their experiences to themselves, so the man is comparing his own voice to the new voice.

We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion.

It is wholly inadequate for any other.

(W)e are bound together in chains as well as the cords of everlasting love, we are in good spirits and rejoice that we are counted worthy to be persecuted for Christ`s sake.
