Famous quotes containing the word story:
“Well, I know you havent had much experience writing and none at all in pictures. But Ive heard about you. It all sounded like youre just the man I wanted for a story about the Navy.

“The oft-repeated Roman story is written in still legible characters in every quarter of the Old World, and but today, perchance, a new coin is dug up whose inscription repeats and confirms their fame.

—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“When a husbands story is believed, he begins to suspect his wife.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
