Famous quotes containing the word anecdotes:

    They soon became like brothers from community of wrongs;
    They wrote each other little odes and sang each other songs;
    They told each other anecdotes disparaging their wives;
    On several occasions, too, they saved each other’s lives.
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    I shall not want Society in Heaven,
    Lucretia Borgia shall be my Bride;
    Her anecdotes will be more amusing
    Than Pipit’s experience could provide.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    How the imagination is piqued by anecdotes of some great man passing incognito, as a king in gray clothes.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
