Famous quotes containing the word spoke:
“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, Id like to see one every year. Something like a festival.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
“For he could coin, or counterfeit
New words, with little or no wit;
Words so debasd and hard, no stone
Was hard enough to touch them on;
And when with hasty noise he spoke em;
The ignorant for current took em;”
—Samuel Butler (16121680)
“Thus spoke the devil to me once: God too has his hell: that is his love of man. And most recently I heard him say this: God is dead; God died of his pity for man.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
