Speak

Famous quotes containing the word speak:

“Lord Hamlet, with his doublet all unbraced,
No hat upon his head, his stockings fouled,
Ungartered, and down-gyved to his ankle,
Pale as his shirt, his knees knocking each other,
And with a look so piteous in purport
As if he had been loosed out of hell
To speak of horrors.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“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 is a concept that is the corrupter and destroyer of all others. I speak not of Evil, whose limited empire is that of ethics; I speak of the infinite.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
