Talk

Famous quotes containing the word talk:

“A bad liver is to a Frenchman what a nervous breakdown is to an American. Everyone has had one and everyone wants to talk about it.”
—Art Buchwald (b. 1925)

“Young women that would not be thought coquettish, and old men that would not be ridiculous, should never talk of love, as if they had any concern in it.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

“No man’s thoughts are new, but the style of their expression is the never-failing novelty which cheers and refreshes men. If we were to answer the question, whether the mass of men, as we know them, talk as the standard authors and reviewers write, or rather as this man writes, we should say that he alone begins to write their language at all.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
