Quote of the Day

For while the tale of how we suffer, and how we are delighted and how we may triumph is never new, it always must be heard. There isn’t any other tale to tell. It’s the only light we’ve got in all this darkness.
View quotes by James Baldwin

'Life itself is the most wonderful faery tale.'
View quotes by Hans Christian Andersen

I'd imagine my wedding as a fairy tale... huge, beautiful and white.
View quotes by Paris Hilton

It is a heretic that makes the fire, Not she which burns in it (The Winter's Tale, Act 2 Scene 3)
View quotes by William Shakespeare

The Goldilocks Enigma is the idea that everything in the universe is just right for life, like the porridge in the fairy tale.

Should all despair That have revolted wives, the tenth of mankind Would hang themselves (The Winter's Tale Act 1, Scene 2)
View quotes by William Shakespeare

Man passes away; his names perishes from record and recollection; his history is as a tale that is told, and his very monument becomes a ruin.

The hero of my tale - whom I love with all the power of my soul, whom I have tried to portray in all his beauty, who has been, is, and will be beautiful - is Truth (Sevastopol in May)

View quotes by D H Lawrence

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.

View quotes by Lord Byron

-The Tell-Tale Heart
View quotes by Edgar Allan Poe

What's gone and what's past help Should be past grief. The Winter's Tale, Act 3, Scene 2

View quotes by Thomas Mann

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way (A Tale of Two Cities)
View quotes by Charles Dickens

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
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.
Macbeth, Act 5 Scene 5
View quotes by William Shakespeare

And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe, And then from hour to hour, we rot and rot: And thereby hangs a tale (As You Like It, Act 2 Scene 7)
View quotes by William Shakespeare
