Spelling Words

Famous quotes containing the words spelling and/or words:

    We drove the Indians out of the land,
    But a dire revenge those Redmen planned,
    For they fastened a name to every nook,
    And every boy with a spelling book
    Will have to toil till his hair turns gray
    Before he can spell them the proper way.
    Eva March Tappan (1854–1930)

    Some words live in my throat
    breeding like adders. Others know sun
    seeking like gypsies over my tongue
    to explode through my lips
    Audre Lorde (b. 1934)
