Tells

Famous quotes containing the word tells:

    Yes—oh, dear, yes—the novel tells a story.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    A baby is a full time job for three adults. Nobody tells you that when you’re pregnant, or you’d probably jump off a bridge. Nobody tells you how all-consuming it is to be a mother—how reading goes out the window and thinking too.
    Erica Jong (20th century)

    White man tells me—hunh—
    Damn yo’ soul;
    White man tells me—hunh—
    Damn yo’ soul;
    Got no need, bebby,
    To be tole.
    Sterling Allen Brown (b. 1901)
