Dumb

Famous quotes containing the word dumb:

“O, it offends me to the soul to hear a robustious, periwig-pated fellow tear a passion to tatters, to very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings, who for the most part are capable of nothing but inexplicable dumb shows and noise. I would have such a fellow whipped for o’erdoing Termagant. It out-Herods Herod. Pray you avoid it.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Beware. Beware.
There is a tenderness.
There is a love
for this dumb traveler
waiting in his pink covers.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“The loss of my sight was a great fillip. If I could go deaf and dumb I think I might pant on to be a hundred.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
