Famous quotes containing the word telling:
“Do what you know you ought to do. Why should we ever go abroad, even across the way, to ask a neighbor’s advice? There is a nearer neighbor within us incessantly telling us how we should behave. But we wait for the neighbor without to tell us of some false, easier way.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The English are polite by telling lies. The Americans are polite by telling the truth.”
—Malcolm Bradbury (b. 1932)
“I apologize for not being entirely honest with you. I apologize for hiding my true feelings. I apologize, sir, for not telling you sooner that you are a sadistic, degenerate old man. And you can go to hell before I apologize to you now or ever again.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
