Story

Famous quotes containing the word story:

“Personal beauty is then first charming and itself, when it dissatisfies us with any end; when it becomes a story without an end; when it suggests gleams and visions, and not earthly satisfactions; when it makes the beholder feel his unworthiness; when he cannot feel his right to it, though he were Caesar; he cannot feel more right to it than to the firmament and the splendors of a sunset.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Even a nine story pagoda must be built up level by level.”
—Chinese proverb.

“When a husband’s story is believed, he begins to suspect his wife.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
