Telltale Quotes

It was a lie and I detected it at once. As an accomplished fibber myself, I spotted the telltale signs of an untruth before they were halfway out of his mouth: the excessive detail, the offhand delivery, and the wrapping-up of it all in casual chitchat Picture Quote #1

The pleased sea on a white-breasted shore - a shore that wears on her alluring brows rare shells, far brought, the love-gifts of the sea, that blushed a tell-tale Picture Quote #1

Know how to behave at a fine restaurant, which is a telltale measure of social maturity Picture Quote #1

Every time I write something down I check it to see if it has that telltale glow, the glow that tells me there’s something there. If it glows, it stays. Everything is either on or off Picture Quote #1

Because that’s what unfaithfulness is, isn’t it? A cancer that’s always there in the back of your mind, eating away at the foundations of the relationship. It’s happened once, it could happen again, so you’re always looking for telltale signs or symptoms to show that it’s reappeared Picture Quote #1

The writers we absorb when we’re young bind us to them, sometimes lightly, sometimes with iron. In time, the bonds fall away, but if you look very closely you can sometimes make out the pale white groove of a faded scar, or the telltale chalky red of old rust Picture Quote #1

I was thinking about time, how on a movie set the shot is maintained in the same time no matter how many takes and hours pass. Reflectors and lights are added, footprints are smoothed away, so that there are no telltale clues as the day wears on. When the shot is finished and the plugs are pulled, time seems to leap forward in a matter of seconds. Perhaps making movies is a step toward being able to move backward and forward and in and out of linear time Picture Quote #1

On land off an ice covered sea the traveler can, for example, detect the presence of open water, simply because it reflects less light than land or ice. The open sea’s telltale sign is thus a darkness on the underside of the clouds Picture Quote #1

A wise reader reads the book of genius not with his heart, not so much with his brain, but with his spine. It is there that occurs the telltale tingle Picture Quote #1

I’ve since discovered that many human beings need no supernatural mentoring to commit acts of savagery; some people are devils in their own right, their telltale horns having grown inward to facilitate their disguise Picture Quote #1

The assumption of the word reunion is that, once you’re together again, you are united. Two as one. Pulling close to someone is only a temporary symbol. It’s the way you breathe with each other that’s the telltale sign Picture Quote #1

He’ll return one fine day, I’ll see the telltale smoke rise far above the far horizon before his ship appears Picture Quote #1

When I really have to push and grope and scratch and claw to make a story work, that’s a telltale sign that maybe something conceptually isn’t right Picture Quote #1

The insatiable need for heartless power and ruthless control is the telltale sign of an uninitiated man - the most irresponsible, incompetent and destructive force on earth Picture Quote #1

The cosmic game changed forever in 1992. Before then, logic told us that there had to be other planets besides the nine (if you still count poor Pluto) in our solar system, but until that year, when two astronomers detected faint, telltale radio signals in the constellation Virgo, we had no hard evidence of their existence Picture Quote #1

That 1983 general election contained the telltale seeds of eventual Scottish Tory self-destruction Picture Quote #1
