Famous quotes containing the word stories:

    “But stories that live longest
    Are sung above the glass,
    And Parnell loved his country
    And Parnell loved his lass.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Fairy tales are loved by the child not because the imagery he finds in them conforms to what goes on within him, but because—despite all the angry, anxious thoughts in his mind to which the fairy tale gives body and specific content—these stories always result in a happy outcome, which the child cannot imagine on his own.”
    —Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)

    “Castaway, your time is a flat sea that doesn’t stop,
    with no new land to make for and no new stories to swap.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
