Story

Famous quotes containing the word story:

    The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.
    Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)

    The psychiatrist’s office: the only place I can be sure my story will be treated as sad, but interesting.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    So every journey that I make
    Leads me, as in the story he was led,
    To some new ambush, to some fresh mistake:
    So every journey I begin foretells
    A weariness of daybreak, spread
    With carrion kisses, carrion farewells.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
