Famous quotes containing the word stories:

    “I found that they knew but little of the history of their race, and could be entertained by stories about their ancestors as readily as any way.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I tell it stories now and then
    and feed it images like honey.
    I will not speculate today
    with poems that think they’re money.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Long before I wrote stories, I listened for stories. Listening for them is something more acute than listening to them. I suppose it’s an early form of participation in what goes on. Listening children know stories are there. When their elders sit and begin, children are just waiting and hoping for one to come out, like a mouse from its hole.”
    —Eudora Welty (b. 1909)
