Speak

Famous quotes containing the word speak:

“I feel I must learn to speak the Baa
of the simple-minded, while my mind
dives into the multi-colored
crowded voices,
cries for help, My breasts are off me.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“There are some who speak well and write badly. For the place and the audience warm them, and draw from their minds more than they think of without that warmth.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

“Nor do they trust their tongue alone,
But speak a language of their own;
Can read a nod, a shrug, a look,
Far better than a printed book;
Convey a libel in a frown,
And wink a reputation down.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
