Tale

Famous quotes containing the word tale:

“This was Venice, the flattering and suspect beauty—this city, half fairy tale and half tourist trap, in whose insalubrious air the arts once rankly and voluptuously blossomed, where composers have been inspired to lulling tones of somniferous eroticism.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

“I tell the tale that I heard told.
Mithridates, he died old.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
