Tale

Famous quotes containing the word tale:

    Never trust the artist. Trust the tale. The proper function of the critic is to save the tale from the artist who created it.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    I tell the tale that I heard told.
    Mithridates, he died old.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    In the tale, in the telling, we are all one blood. Take the tale in your teeth, then, and bite till the blood runs, hoping it’s not poison; and we will all come to the end together, and even to the beginning: living, as we do, in the middle.
    Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
