Famous quotes containing the word story:

    “Cinderella and the prince
    lived, they say, happily ever after,
    like two dolls in a museum case
    never bothered by diapers or dust,
    never arguing over the timing of an egg,
    never telling the same story twice....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
