Graves/history

Famous quotes containing the words graves and/or history:

    There is one story and one story only
    That will prove worth your telling,
    Whether as learned bard or gifted child;
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.
    Frances Burney (1752–1840)
