Tells

Famous quotes containing the word tells:

“Why am I so determined to put the shoulder where it belongs? Women have very round shoulders that push forward slightly; this touches me and I say: “One must not hide that!” Then someone tells you: “The shoulder is on the back.” I’ve never seen women with shoulders on their backs.”
—Coco Chanel (1883–1971)

“The cuckoo is a merry bird,
He sings as he flies,
He brings us glad tidings
And tells us no lies.”
—Unknown. The Cuckoo (l. 1–4)

“Common sense tells us that the things of the earth exist only a little, and that true reality is only in dreams.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
