Famous quotes containing the word told:

“I have been told to reason by the heart,
But heart, like head, leads helplessly;

And, when it quickens, alter the actions’ pace”

But let concealment, like a worm i’th’bud,
Feed on her damask cheek.”

“All that is told of the sea has a fabulous sound to an inhabitant of the land, and all its products have a certain fabulous quality, as if they belonged to another planet, from seaweed to a sailor’s yarn, or a fish story. In this element the animal and vegetable kingdoms meet and are strangely mingled.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
