Man Tells

Famous quotes containing the words man and/or tells:

    Where was he going, this man against the sky?
    You know not, nor do I.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    One can write out of love or hate. Hate tells one a great deal about a person. Love makes one become the person. Love, contrary to legend, is not half as blind, at least for writing purposes, as hate. Love can see the evil and not cease to be love. Hate cannot see the good and remain hate. The writer, writing out of hatred, will, thus, paint a far more partial picture than if he had written out of love.
    Jessamyn West (1902–1984)
