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)

“The secret of the demagogue is to appear as dumb as his audience so that these people can believe themselves as smart as he is.”
—Karl Kraus (1874–1936)

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