Conan Stories

Famous quotes containing the words conan and/or stories:

    What a lovely thing a rose is!... Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But the rose is an extra. Its smell and its colour are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras.
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    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)
