Man Tells

Famous quotes containing the words man and/or tells:

    From the moment a child begins to speak, he is taught to respect the word; he is taught how to use the word and how not to use it. The word is all-powerful, because it can build a man up, but it can also tear him down. That’s how powerful it is. So a child is taught to use words tenderly and never against anyone; a child is told never to take anyone’s name or reputation in vain.
    Henry Old Coyote (20th century)

    Yes—oh, dear, yes—the novel tells a story.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
