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)

    “Castaway, your time is a flat sea that doesn’t stop,
    with no new land to make for and no new stories to swap.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
