Story

Famous quotes containing the word story:

    For never was a story of more woe
    Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Grief that is dazed and speechless is out of fashion: the modern woman mourns her husband loudly and tells you the whole story of his death, which distresses her so much that she forgets not the slightest detail about it.
    —Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)

    Cinderella and the prince
    lived, they say, happily ever after,
    like two dolls in a museum case
    never bothered by diapers or dust,
    never arguing over the timing of an egg,
    never telling the same story twice....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
