Tells

Famous quotes containing the word tells:

“Every man has his dignity. I’m willing to forget mine, but at my own discretion and not when someone else tells me to.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)

“She tells her love while half asleep
In the dark hours,
With half-words whispered low:”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)

“Mental health data from the 1950’s on middle-aged women showed them to be a particularly distressed group, vulnerable to depression and feelings of uselessness. This isn’t surprising. If society tells you that your main role is to be attractive to men and you are getting crow’s feet, and to be a mother to children and yours are leaving home, no wonder you are distressed.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
