Famous quotes containing the word spoke:

    The loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind.
    Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)

    They sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his suffering was very great.

    We can remember as easily as the day we were born
    The maggots we passed on the way and how the day bled
    And the night too on hearing us, though we spoke only our childish
    Ideas and never tried to impress anybody even when somewhat older.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
