Talking

Famous quotes containing the word talking:

“We have two kinds of “conference.” One is that to which the office boy refers when he tells the applicant for a job that Mr. Blevitch is “in conference.” This means that Mr. Blevitch is in good health and reading the paper, but otherwise unoccupied. The other type of “conference” is bona fide in so far as it implies that three or four men are talking together in one room, and don’t want to be disturbed.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

“I wept as I remembered how often you and I
Had tired the sun with talking and sent him down the sky.”
—Callimachus (c.305–240 B.C.)

“A man may appear learned, without talking Sentences; as in his ordinary Gesture he discovers he can Dance, tho’ he does not cut Capers.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
