Famous quotes containing the word knew:
“‘A parted ev’n just between twelve and one, ev’n at the
turning o’ the tide; for after I saw him fumble with the

end, I knew there was but one way; for his nose was as sharp as
pen, and ‘a babbled of green fields.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Rome has betrayed itself. It knew the truth and chose violence, it knew humaneness and it chose tyranny.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“One who knew how to appropriate the true value of this world would be the poorest man in it. The poor rich man! all he has is what he has bought.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
