Famous quotes containing the words tales, perilous and/or realm:

    “It is not the first duty of the novelist to provide blueprints for insurrection, or uplifting tales of successful resistance for the benefit of the opposition. The naming of what is there is what is important.”
    —Ian McEwan (b. 1938)

    “The very form, the very scent,
    not heavy, not sensuous,
    but perilous perilous
    of orchids, piled in a great sheath.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “If there is one realm in which it is essential to be sublime, it is in wickedness. You spit on a petty thief, but you can’t deny a kind of respect for the great criminal.”
    —Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
