Famous quotes containing the word stories:

    Kids are fascinated by stories about what they were like when they were babies and what they said and did as they grew. This sense of history and connectedness increases your children’s feelings of security and safety, and helps them build the ability to make healthy connections in the world at large.
    Stephanie Martson (20th century)

    Young man, there is America, which at this day serves for little more than to amuse you with stories of savage men and uncouth manners.
    Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    We make the oldest stories new when we succeed, and we are trapped by the old stories when we fail.
    Greil Marcus (b. 1945)
