Tells

Famous quotes containing the word tells:

“Where we come from in America no longer signifies—it’s where we go, and what we do when we get there, that tells us who we are.
The irony of the role of women in my business, and in so many other places, too, was that while we began by demanding that we be allowed to mimic the ways of men, we wound up knowing we would have to change those ways. Not only because those ways were not like ours, but because they simply did not work.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

“When after talk with other men
A man comes back to a woman again
He tells her as much of blood and dirt
As he thinks will do her not too much hurt.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“When A tells me that B has spoken ill of me, I think “that makes two of you.””
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
