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.

    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    Life is not at all what you might think it to be
    A simple tale where each thing has its history
    It’s much more than its scuffle and anything goes
    Both evil and good, subject to the same laws.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
