Famous quotes containing the word spoke:

    He spoke to the rabble;
    dead,
    dead,
    dead were our ears
    that heard not, yet heard.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you,
    trippingly on the tongue; but if you mouth it as many of your
    players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    We had won. Pimps got out of their polished cars and walked the streets of San Francisco only a little uneasy at the unusual exercise. Gamblers, ignoring their sensitive fingers, shook hands with shoeshine boys.... Beauticians spoke to the shipyard workers, who in turn spoke to the easy ladies.... I thought if war did not include killing, I’d like to see one every year. Something like a festival.
    Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
