Showed

Famous quotes containing the word showed:

“From the moment I liberated Brigitte, the moment I showed her how to be truly herself, our marriage was all downhill.”
—Roger Vadim (b. 1927)

“His delights
Were dolphin-like, they showed his back above
The element they lived in.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

““Mustn’t grumble” was the most English of expressions. English patience was mingled inertia and despair. What was the use? But Americans did nothing but grumble! Americans also boasted. “I do some pretty incredible things” was not an English expression. “I’m fairly keen” was not American. Americans were showoffs—it was part of our innocence—we often fell on our faces; the English seldom showed off, so they seldom looked like fools.”
—Paul Theroux (b. 1941)
