Tongues

Famous quotes containing the word tongues:

“The less sophisticated of my forbears avoided foreigners at all costs, for the very good reason that, in their circles, speaking in tongues was commonly a prelude to snake handling. The more tolerant among us regarded foreign languages as a kind of speech impediment that could be overcome by willpower.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

“The tongues of mocking wenches are as keen
As is the razor’s edge invisible.”
