Talk Quotations
Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.
Oscar Wilde
If one plays good music, people don't listen and if one plays bad music people don't talk.
Oscar Wilde
If one could only teach the English how to talk, and the Irish how to listen, society here would be quite civilized.
Oscar Wilde
It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone.
Marilyn Monroe
Don't talk about what you have done or what you are going to do.
Thomas Jefferson
If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour?
Thomas Jefferson
I'm always rather nervous about how you talk about women who are active in politics, whether they want to be talked about as women or as politicians.
John F. Kennedy
Genteel women suppose that those things do not really exist about which it is impossible to talk in polite company.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.
C. S. Lewis
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.
Robert Frost
