Famous quotes containing the word spoke:

    “Thus spoke the devil to me once: “God too has his hell: that is his love of man.” And most recently I heard him say this: “God is dead; God died of his pity for man.””
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “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.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Job 2:13.

    “Human life is thus only a perpetual illusion; men deceive and flatter each other. No one speaks of us in our presence as he does of us in our absence. Human society is founded on mutual deceit; few friendships would endure if each knew what his friend said of him in his absence, although he then spoke in sincerity and without passion.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
