“- Ann Carrington: What's that sound?
- Lillian - the Housekeeper: It's the waves. Angry waves. Day after day, night after night, they beat with savage fury against the black rocks below. For twenty years they've been calling... calling to someone who never answers.”
Carole Landis - Ann Carrington
Rafaela Ottiano - Lillian - the Housekeeper

“- Richard Blake: Makes a nice sound, doesn't it, coming across a continent.
- Edward Creighton: It's music.”

Robert Young - Richard Blake
Dean Jagger - Edward Creighton

“Those sounds come from inside, not outside. Then only when you're concentrating, when you believe strongly in something.”

Eric Portman - Thomas Colpeper, JP

“At night! I think of my piano in its ocean grave, and sometimes of myself floating above it. Down there everything is so still and silent that it lulls me to sleep. It is a weird lullaby and so it is; it is mine.”
Holly Hunter - Ada

“I am thinking of the piano. She does not play the piano like we do, Nessie. She is a strange creature. And her playing is strange, like a mood that passes into you. Your playing is plain and true, and that is what I like. To have a sound creep inside you is not at all pleasant.”

Kerry Walker - Aunt Morag
