Famous quotes containing the words spy and/or story:

    Living, just by itself—what a dirge that is! Life is a classroom and Boredom’s the usher, there all the time to spy on you; whatever happens, you’ve got to look as if you were awfully busy all the time doing something that’s terribly exciting—or he’ll come along and nibble your brain.
    Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961)

    Out of countless memories, invention selects a few that become “the story of my life.”
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
