Tale Quotations
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. William Shakespeare Life is as tedious as twice-told tale, vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man. William Shakespeare All men are children, and of one family. The same tale sends them all to bed, and wakes them in the morning. Henry David Thoreau I should be very willing to redress men wrongs, and rather check than punish crimes, had not Cervantes, in that all too true tale of Quixote, shown how all such efforts fail. Lord Byron As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters. Lucius Annaeus Seneca Nobody has any conscience about adding to the improbabilities of a marvelous tale. Nathaniel Hawthorne And I thought, when I have kids, that's the sort of well told, silly, and fun fairy tale that I would want to take them to. But it was an amazing experience. And I think Shrek is a real classic, a fairy tale classic. Mike Myers The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them... Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will. Michel de Montaigne I'd imagine my wedding as a fairy tale... huge, beautiful and white. Paris Hilton There must be possible a fiction which, leaving sociology and case histories to the scientists, can arrive at the truth about the human condition, here and now, with all the bright magic of the fairy tale. Ralph Ellison |
