Tells Quotes (page 36)

There is a misconception, geocentric and anthropomorphic, common to the large majority the the earthbound, which causes them to visualize a planetary system stereoscopically. The mind's eye sees a sun, remote from a backdrop of stars, and surrounded by spinning apples -- the planets. Step out on your balcony and look. Can you tell the planets from the stars? Venus you may pick out with ease, but could you tell it from Canopus, if you had not previously been introduced? That little red... Robert A. Heinlein
A white lie is not a lie at all. It is where you tell the truth but you do not tell all of the truth. This means that everything you say is a white lie because when someone says, for example, "What do you want to do today?" you say, "I want to do painting with Mrs. Peters," but you don't say, "I want to have my lunch and I want to go to the toilet and I want to go home after school and I want to play with Toby and I want to have my supper Mark Haddon

If you will tell me why the fen appears impassable, I then will tell you why I think that I can cross it if I try. Marianne Moore
Theater is just so much more satisfying than film or television just because you deliver the whole thing from start to finish in one evening, and you can tell if people have enjoyed it or not. That's great to do every night to go in front of a full room of people and tell the story. There's nothing like that really. Jonny Lee Miller
Dennis Miller quote: "Joan Rivers telling Lauren Bacall her dress is all wrong is..."
Joan Rivers telling Lauren Bacall her dress is all wrong is like Carrot Top telling Lenny Bruce he needs to get an edge. Dennis Miller
When you put your hand on the Bible, you are saying something much stronger than just telling your peers that you're going to tell the truth. Lee Greenwood
I write easily, let's put it that way. And in a novel particularly, the characters take over. And they tell me what to say and they tell me what they're doing. And I'm a third of the way into a novel and then I just let the characters finish it for me. Andrew Greeley
Cary Grant quote: "When people tell you how young you look, they are telling you..."
When people tell you how young you look, they are telling you how old you are. Cary Grant
It's a director's job to tell a story and he's very well versed in telling stories with a bit of comedy in them and keeping the pace of the movie right and that's exactly what he did. He was observant of a world he didn't understand but he told a wonderful story. Cuba Gooding, Jr.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "If you must tell me your opinions, tell me what you believe..."
If you must tell me your opinions, tell me what you believe in. I have plenty of doubts of my own. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
