Telling

Famous quotes containing the word telling:

    I’m telling the truth.
    I’m standing at death’s door
    and even today
    my sight falls
    on that thicket
    on the Tpt’s pure banks,
    just as before.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    We spend all day broadcasting on the radio and TV telling people back home what’s happening here. And we learn what’s happening here by spending all day monitoring the radio and TV broadcasts from back home.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    When, said Mr. Phillips, he communicated to a New Bedford audience, the other day, his purpose of writing his life, and telling his name, and the name of his master, and the place he ran from, the murmur ran round the room, and was anxiously whispered by the sons of the Pilgrims, “He had better not!” and it was echoed under the shadow of the Concord monument, “He had better not!”
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
