Famous quotes containing the words not to and/or told:
“To know yet to think that one does not know is best; Not to know yet to think that one knows will lead to difficulty.”
—Lao-Tzu (6th century B.C.)
“Until the Women’s Movement, it was commonplace to be told by an editor that he’d like to publish more of my poems, but he’d already published one by a woman that month ... this attitude was the rule rather than the exception, until the mid-sixties. Highest compliment was to be told, “You write like a man.””
—Maxine Kumin (b. 1925)
