Famous quotes containing the words stories and/or included:

    “The return of the asymmetrical Saturday was one of those small events that were interior, local, almost civic and which, in tranquil lives and closed societies, create a sort of national bond and become the favorite theme of conversation, of jokes and of stories exaggerated with pleasure: it would have been a ready- made seed for a legendary cycle, had any of us leanings toward the epic.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    “The Heavenly eye,
    Much wider than the sky,
    Wherein they all included were,
    The glorious Soul, that was the King
    Made to possess them, did appear
    A small and little thing!”
    —Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
