Speak

Famous quotes containing the word speak:

“Be thou a spirit of health, or goblin damned,
Bring with thee airs from heaven, or blasts from hell,
Be thy intents wicked or charitable,
Thou com’st in such a questionable shape
That I will speak to thee.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Curiosity is only vanity. Most frequently we wish to know only to talk. Thus we would not take a sea voyage—if we were never to speak of it—for the sole pleasure of seeing without hope of ever communicating it.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

“It is a ridiculous demand which England and America make, that you shall speak so that they can understand you. Neither men nor toadstools grow so.”
