Speak

Famous quotes containing the word speak:

“We all have—to put it as nicely as I can—our lower centres and our higher centres. Our lower centres act: they act with terrible power that sometimes destroys us; but they don’t talk.... Since the war the lower centres have become vocal. And the effect is that of an earthquake. For they speak truths that have never been spoken before—truths that the makers of our domestic institutions have tried to ignore.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

“Let us not speak of them; but look, and pass on.”
—Dante Alighieri (1265–1321)

“The fool saith, I have no friends, I have no thanks for all my good deeds, and they that eat my bread speak evil of me.”
—Apocrypha. Ecclesiasticus 20:16.
