Stories

Famous quotes containing the word stories:

    A man is known by the books he reads, by the company he keeps, by the praise he gives, by his dress, by his tastes, by his distastes, by the stories he tells, by his gait, by the notion of his eye, by the look of his house, of his chamber; for nothing on earth is solitary but every thing hath affinities infinite.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    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)

    I’m the only woman reporter they have, so I get all the meat boycott stories and all the meatless food stories.... Actually, I’ve only cooked three meals in my life. The most uncomfortable place for me in the whole world is in a kitchen.
    Theresa Brown (b. 1957)
