Story

Famous quotes containing the word story:

“... if there’s a house, then there is a wall ... between them and the outside world. The ideal is to stay inside and to never have to go out, and the whole idea of staying home is really important. I think men do get out, but it is not glamorized the way it is here in America, where the big story is to ride out and go someplace and to travel.”
—Gish Jen (b. 1956)

“Out of countless memories, invention selects a few that become “the story of my life.””
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“Yonder a maid and her wight
Come whispering by:
War’s annals will cloud into night
Ere their story die.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
