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
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
Nobody has any conscience about adding to the improbabilities of a marvelous tale.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
I was a great reader of fairy tales. I tried to read the entire fairy tale section of the library.
Beverly Cleary
