Famous quotes containing the word knew:
“She sang a song that sounds like life; I mean it was sad. Délira knew no other types of songs. She didnt sing loud, and the song had no words. It was sung with closed lips and it stayed down in ones throat.... Life is what taught them, these Negresses, to sing as if they were choking back sobs. It is a song that always ends with a beginning anew because this song is the picture of misery, and tell me, does misery ever end?”
—Jacques Roumain (19071945)
“He cast off his friends as a huntsman his pack,
For he knew when he pleasd he could whistle them back.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (17281774)
“I may say it of our preposterous use of books,He knew not what to do, and so he read.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
