Famous quotes containing the words burning and/or story:

    What have I thus betrayed my libertie?
    Can those blacke beames such burning markes engrave
    In my free side? or am I borne a slave,
    Whose necke becomes such yoke of tyranny?
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    This story is no good, I’m almost beginning to believe it.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
