Famous quotes containing the word stories:
“I am surprised at the way people seem to perceive me, and sometimes I read stories and hear things about me and I go ugh. I wouldnt like her either. Its so unlike what I think I am or what my friends think I am.”
—Hillary Rodham Clinton (b. 1947)
“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 (18711922)
“If you like to make things out of wood, or sew, or dance, or style peoples hair, or dream up stories and act them out, or play the trumpet, or jump rope, or whatever you really love to do, and you love that in front of your children, thats going to be a far more important gift than anything you could ever give them wrapped up in a box with ribbons.”
—Fred M. Rogers (20th century)
