Tells

Famous quotes containing the word tells:

“Better the rudest work that tells a story or records a fact, than the richest without meaning.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)

“Painting is a blind man’s profession. He paints not what he sees, but what he feels, what he tells himself about what he has seen.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)

“One can write out of love or hate. Hate tells one a great deal about a person. Love makes one become the person. Love, contrary to legend, is not half as blind, at least for writing purposes, as hate. Love can see the evil and not cease to be love. Hate cannot see the good and remain hate. The writer, writing out of hatred, will, thus, paint a far more partial picture than if he had written out of love.”
—Jessamyn West (1902–1984)
