Famous quotes containing the word stories:

    “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)

    “A man is known by the books he reads, by the company he keeps, by the praise he gives, by his dress, by his tastes, by his distastes, by the stories he tells, by his gait, by the notion of his eye, by the look of his house, of his chamber; for nothing on earth is solitary but every thing hath affinities infinite.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Writing ought either to be the manufacture of stories for which there is a market demand—a business as safe and commendable as making soap or breakfast foods—or it should be an art, which is always a search for something for which there is no market demand, something new and untried, where the values are intrinsic and have nothing to do with standardized values.”
    —Willa Cather (1876–1947)
