Famous quotes containing the word told:
“She never told her love,
But let concealment, like a worm i the bud
Feed on her damask cheek. She pined in thought,
And with a green and yellow melancholy
She sat like patience on a monument,
Smiling at grief. Was not this love indeed?”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“From the moment a child begins to speak, he is taught to respect the word; he is taught how to use the word and how not to use it. The word is all-powerful, because it can build a man up, but it can also tear him down. Thats how powerful it is. So a child is taught to use words tenderly and never against anyone; a child is told never to take anyones name or reputation in vain.”
—Henry Old Coyote (20th century)

—Jo Eisinger, and Jules Dassin. Harry Fabian (Richard Widmark)
