Famous quotes containing the word spoke:

    We can remember as easily as the day we were born
    The maggots we passed on the way and how the day bled
    And the night too on hearing us, though we spoke only our childish
    Ideas and never tried to impress anybody even when somewhat older.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    You never spoke what did become you less
    Than this.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    For he could coin, or counterfeit
    New words, with little or no wit;
    Words so debas’d 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 (1612–1680)
