Famous quotes containing the words tale and/or finished:
“Never trust the artist. Trust the tale. The proper function of the critic is to save the tale from the artist who created it.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity. We collect into a small bunch the flowers, the few flowers, which brought sweetness into a life, and present it as an offering to an accomplished destiny. It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.”
—André Maurois (1885–1967)
