Famous quotes containing the word stories:

    Young man, there is America, which at this day serves for little more than to amuse you with stories of savage men and uncouth manners.
    Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    Fairy tales are loved by the child not because the imagery he finds in them conforms to what goes on within him, but because—despite all the angry, anxious thoughts in his mind to which the fairy tale gives body and specific content—these stories always result in a happy outcome, which the child cannot imagine on his own.
    Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)

    We make the oldest stories new when we succeed, and we are trapped by the old stories when we fail.
    Greil Marcus (b. 1945)
