True Histories

Famous quotes containing the words true and/or histories:

    The true story is vicious
    and multiple and untrue
    after all. Why do you
    need it? Don’t ever
    ask for the true story.
    Margaret Atwood (b. 1939)

    The histories of the lives and fortunes of men are full of instances of this nature,—where favorable times and lucky accidents have done for them, what wisdom or skill could not.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
