The Story

Famous quotes containing the word story:

    My story being done,
    She gave me for my pains a world of sighs;
    She swore, in faith ‘twas strange, ‘twas passing strange;
    ‘Twas pitiful, ‘twas wondrous pitiful.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The story is told of a man who, seeing one of the thoroughbred stables for the first time, suddenly removed his hat and said in awed tones, “My Lord! The cathedral of the horse.”
    —For the State of Kentucky, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
