Famous quotes containing the words legends and/or traditions:
“Sometimes legends make reality, and become more useful than the facts.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
“And all the great traditions of the Past
They saw reflected in the coming time.
And thus forever with reverted look
The mystic volume of the world they read,
Spelling it backward, like a Hebrew book,
Till life became a Legend of the Dead.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
