Story

Famous quotes containing the word story:

“Out of countless memories, invention selects a few that become “the story of my life.””
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“Saving one human life is better than building a seven story pagoda to the Buddha.”
—Chinese proverb.

“A good story is one that isn’t demanding, that proceeds from A to B, and above all doesn’t remind us of the bad times, the cardboard patches we used to wear in our shoes, the failed farms, the way people you love just up and die. It tells us instead that hard work and perseverance can overcome all obstacles; it tells lie after lie, and the happy ending is the happiest lie of all.”
—Kathleen Norris (b. 1947)
