Famous quotes containing the word tells:
“Wi joy unfeigned brothers and sisters meet,
An each for others weelfare kindly spiers:
The social hours, swift-winged, unnoticed fleet;
Each tells the uncos that he sees or hears;
The parents, partial, eye their hopeful years;
Anticipation forward points the view:”
—Robert Burns (17591796)

—Joanna Cole (20th century)
“Comes from a fine family. So she tells me. Brothers a priest, all that. But, you know, death, disaster, unfortunate investments. One day shes a little princess, up on the hill. Next, shes down there, working the bars for the best she can.”
