Famous quotes containing the words lady, hope and/or story:

    “A lady with soft eyes like funeral tapers,
    And face that seemed wrought out of moonlit vapours,
    And a sad mouth, that fear made tremulous
    As any ruddy moth, looked down on us;
    And she with a wave-rusted chain was tied
    To two old eagles, full of ancient pride....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Unless one is a genius, it is best to aim at being intelligible.”
    —Anthony Hope (1863–1933)

    “Call on literary convention, and it will gladly tell your story for you.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
