Famous quotes containing the word stories:

    “The return of the asymmetrical Saturday was one of those small events that were interior, local, almost civic and which, in tranquil lives and closed societies, create a sort of national bond and become the favorite theme of conversation, of jokes and of stories exaggerated with pleasure: it would have been a ready- made seed for a legendary cycle, had any of us leanings toward the epic.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    “The affair between Margot Asquith and Margot Asquith will live as one of the prettiest love stories in all literature.”
    —Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)

    “I am surprised at the way people seem to perceive me, and sometimes I read stories and hear things about me and I go “ugh.” I wouldn’t like her either. It’s so unlike what I think I am or what my friends think I am.”
    —Hillary Rodham Clinton (b. 1947)
