Court Tales

Famous quotes containing the words court and/or tales:

“At court I met it, in clothes brave enough
To be a courtier, and looks grave enough
To seem a statesman.”

“A curious thing about atrocity stories is that they mirror, instead of the events they purport to describe, the extent of the hatred of the people that tell them.
Still, you can’t listen unmoved to tales of misery and murder.”
