Story

Famous quotes containing the word story:

    A bad short story or novel or poem leaves one comparatively calm because it does not exist, unless it gets a fake prestige through being mistaken for good work. It is essentially negative, it is something that has not come through. But over bad criticism one has a sense of real calamity.
    Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story or tell a story about them.
    Isak Dinesen (1885–1962)

    That’s the whole story of my life: frustration. It’s a chronic disease, and it’s incurable.
    Robert E. Sherwood (1896–1955)
