Famous quotes containing the words marathon and/or story:
“The mountains look on Marathon—
And Marathon looks on the sea;
And musing there an hour alone,
I dreamed that Greece might still be free;
For standing on the Persians’ grave,
I could not deem myself a slave.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“We bank over Boston. I am safe. I put on my hat.
I am almost someone going home. The story has ended.”
