Famous quotes containing the word tells:
“my gentle-hearted Charles, to whom
No sound is dissonant which tells of Life.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“One can write out of love or hate. Hate tells one a great deal about a person. Love makes one become the person. Love, contrary to legend, is not half as blind, at least for writing purposes, as hate. Love can see the evil and not cease to be love. Hate cannot see the good and remain hate. The writer, writing out of hatred, will, thus, paint a far more partial picture than if he had written out of love.”
—Jessamyn West (1902–1984)
“When men shall find thy flow’r, thy glory, pass,
And thou with careful brow, sitting alone,
Received hast this message from thy glass,
That tells the truth and says that All is gone;”
—Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
