Famous quotes containing the words tale and/or finished:
“The teller of a mirthful tale has latitude allowed him. We are content with less than absolute truth.”
—Charles Lamb (1775–1834)
“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)
