Famous quotes containing the word legends:

“Therefore our legends always come around to seeming legendary,
A path decorated with our comings and goings. Or so I’ve been told.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“Farm boys wild to couple
With anything with soft-wooded trees
With mounds of earthmounds
Of pine straw will keep themselves off
Animals by legends of their own:”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)

“Sometimes legends make reality, and become more useful than the facts.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
