Story Relates

Famous quotes containing the words story and/or relates:

“In how few words, for instance, the Greeks would have told the story of Abelard and Heloise, making but a sentence of our classical dictionary.... We moderns, on the other hand, collect only the raw materials of biography and history, “memoirs to serve for a history,” which is but materials to serve for a mythology.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“In everything that relates to science, I am a whole Encyclopaedia behind the rest of the world.”
—Charles Lamb (1775–1834)
